New Gen 4 Purchase - The Good & The Bad..

Isnt the crank position sensor on 4th gens actually on or around the crank shaft down at the lower right hand side of the engine? And having the crank position sensor in the dizzy is the reason why 5th gen ignition timing can not be manually set (OBDII yo!)?

Out ignition timing wont throw a code but it will make it seem like it is over fueling if the timing is too retarded. Hopefully this is why it bangs and flames.

Yeah I think I have got that the wrong way round. The 4th has it on the dizzy and the 5th has it down at the crank.
