1) Start the engine in GAS mode

2) By using a timing-gun check (2) the original Ignition Timing Advance and note it (I.e. Original Timing Advance 20°)

3) Manually rotate the Ditributor (3) in order to advance the Ignition timing (Advance sugggested: LPG 9° more than the original, CNG
12° more than the original)

4) Switch the vehicle in gasoline mode then, adjusting the Trimmer (4), take the Ignition Advance back to the original value (point 2)
Check it by using the Timing-gun.

The Cam shaft sensor connection is not mandatory. Do it only if:

• The CAM shaft sensor signal is HALL EFFECT type.

• The gasoline ECU switches the MIL on and DTC is related to CAM & CKP sincronization.
• In case of Variable Valve Timing engines we suggest to use a newer TAP like AEB516N, AEB518N and
