There is a pin to ground, that runs up into a two pin connector (but only has the one pin inside). It is separated internally with a pink piece of plastic. Read the manual or use VFAQ.com to see what we mean. One it is grounded, you eliminate the ECU from compensating when you turn the CAS to reach the desired base timing. Make sure to mark the pulley where the knotch is located, white-out or paint pens in white really help there. Get base timing to 5 degrees and you should be set. Make sure the timing light has no advance dialed in other than "0", if the gun has no settings then nothing to worry about.

I have tried everythign except timing and 02 sensor it seems. I dont know what to do with timing and o2 wont come off. Trying to find illigal one once again ill have to pay stupid money after i was trying to do it legally.

Fix your EGR, stick to posting in one thread also. Very confusing having to find 3 threads to post in.
Once you fix the EGR, then try what Steve posted about a mixture of E85 with a half tank of gas - see your other thread.
If you want to fix your timing, go to a shop and see what they would charge. Make sure the car is hot, and you have some printed documents on the whole procedure and it should take them no longer than 1 hour or so, assuming nothing else is wrong with the car.
