so yesterday i got the car running, leak free! I was really excited about it, the engine was still revving up and down, but i took it for a ride anyway. It stalled out on me and i ended up having to push it for about a mile. Which sucked, anyway looking at it today, it wont start again, almost possitive im getting fuel, but im not getting any spark, i changed the plugs, wires and cap and that fixed the problem for about 20 minutes yesterday. now im back where i started. Any ideas?

So first thing, you had some idle hunting and the problem never got resolved before you drove? And you verified your not getting spark (by pulling the wire from the ignition coil, 1/2 inch from ground, crank...)? Im kinda leaning to the air part...for now. Are you pulling any codes?

10 btdc. But since you have a 94, you should be able to advance the timing if you so chose.

Well, you can drop it below 10, but that'll retard your timing. By advancing it you can gain a little more power, but need to run a higher grade of fuel. Considering that you have a 94, as it seems you are unable to advance timing on 96+
