Alright, so I'm having a little problem with the base timing on my car here. I go out to check it today and it was way off, so i set it back to 5* BTDC and it started running a bit better, (wouldn't idle properly before). I let it idle for about 10 minutes after setting it and checked it again and found it had advanced to ~5* ATDC already and was not running smoothly. So I turn the car off and tried setting it back again and no matter what i do i cant get it back to 5* BTDC. When i start the car now it runs for 10 seconds pretty rough and then dies on its own. Anyone have any idea as to what could cause this? Thanks in advance.
