Hi all,
I have searched and read the few threads related to it but still I'd want some input before doing it.
The vacuum advance on the distributor was broken and has been replaced with the non-fuel injection type from rockauto (the two vacuum connections pointing downwards after installation, I know, rockauto was blaming me while their catalog is incorrect and it was a rough experience with them). Anyway, the vacuum advance was expensive and I intended to keep using it. I have put longer vacuum hoses and its been ok and working. But I think the timing is not optimized.
However, I remember reading somewhere the vacuum advance of the non-FI accord advances less compare to the FI advance. I know the one further away is for cold coolant/engine condition to add another 4 degrees. So I'm thinking why not connect both vacuum ports to manifold for the additional 4 degrees to compensate it. But I live down in FL so its always hot anyway.
I wonder if any LXi owners have done the same by connecting both vacuum advance ports to manifold vacuum and plug the vacuum pipe from the engine cold solenoid ? I have never heard a ping or knock in my entire life so I don't want to risk over advancing the spark and damage the engine. Some of you said our engine is very tolerance to knocking.
What is your thought ?
Thanks.
