94 Jimmy Help Spark

[ralmo94]

Hello.

I am trying to tune a 94 GMC k1500 5.7 4L60E.

The problem I am having is that timing is retarded to a negative number when the throttle is hammered.

Burst Knock is disabled.

Minimum Retard is set to 10 deg.

Data Log says its retarding.

I can't seem to figure out why.

Knock Retard not showing up

Nor Burst knock.

Changed low octane

seems a little better, but data log still shows that it is retarding, when it retards there is no power. I don't understand what to change.

I wouldn't mind if it preformed as a Non Computer HEI distributer. Am I wrong in thinking it can be programed that way?

It has a small RV cam in it, True dual exhaust, 3.42 gears. Throttle body spacer otherwise stock

Running open loop, trying to get ve dialed in with wide band. altered shift patterns, deleted egr.
Thats all I can think of.

Thanks in advance

16196395. Service number TBI pcm
BJLF BCC code

forgot to add, i have searched and all I can seem to find, is people dealing with knock retard. can't seem to figure out why it is retarding, but knock retard says 0

Thanks Again

Incase anyone is reading this, I tried the bin I uploaded on The original post, and now I have 12 degrees advanced. ALL THE TIME! I don't know what to try next. I was thinking of downloading another bin to start from. I would real like it to just run the open throttle sa table. Nothing but the table. Without adders or retard. I don't know why I am getting 12 degrees now. When I get time this evening, I will post a data log running the above tune. And also the bin I was running while it was regarding.

Is there any TBI $OD guys on here anymore? It would be nice to hear from someone, Even if you have no idea what it is.

Thanks for reading.

I'd be glad to help you out but, that's too new a PCM for me, ha ha. There are a bunch of great guys with plenty of knowledge about $0D and $0E, (7427PCM?). That's all I know, keep the faith and post your log once you get it.

[ralmo94]

Thanks for the reply. I think it's pretty much the same as 7427. From my research. Looked into tuning pretty hard before buying anything.

I realized I may have been confusing with the bin and data log I posted in the first post. So, I renamed files with what the issue.
I will post them now.

Has anyone ever had an issue like this on anything? I know there are a lot of experienced tuners on here, what would you look at if you had the problem?

I have looked at everything that I am able to edit in this bin. I have used the difference finder compared to the stock BJLF bin. I installed a new distributor when I installed the cam. It has a good cap rotor coil and plugs. New module. I really think this is not mechanical, but something in the bin. The fact that I changed something and just got a steady 12 degrees, tells me that. The thing is, that was not intentional. I don't know why it did that. I am pretty much running the stock timing table with a few degrees added. Base timing is set at 2 deg with the connector shorted, entered in the tune. I would really appreciate any ideas any one has even if it doesn't help.

PLaying with TBI, I am guessing you tune stuff like the 7727? I know that is completely different, but what would you look for if you had something like that?

I really appreciate these forums, I have found answers to all kinds of questions, without posting anything. I dialed in the VE pretty close, then the shotty muffler shop job came apart, and the thing breathes a lot better now. For some reason they had put a 1 -2 muffler on backwards, with dual pipes, running all the way back to the muffler. The muffler exit was only 1 3\4 inches. Once that crap fell apart, it ran a lot better even though the VE was off again. Now trying to dial in the VE again, I noticed the issue.

I was originally contemplating switching to carb and HEI, but after reading these forums, I felt confident that I could get it running well with the PCM, and I would still need it for the transmission anyway.

I'm sorry for such a long post, but I figured with more information, maybe someone might have an idea of something I missed or should try.

Thanks Again. I will update here as I try other things, so if anybody else has a similar issue, maybe it will help them.
