What is the normal ignition timing angle for the Mercedes-Benz E260?

[LeAva]

The normal ignition timing angle for the Mercedes-Benz E260 is 60 degrees. Incorrect ignition timing may manifest as unstable idle speed and weak acceleration. Severe cases can prevent the engine from starting, while excessively delayed ignition can cause difficulty starting or insufficient power. Excessively advanced ignition timing: When starting the car, the engine turns heavily (difficult to start) with a jerking sensation. At idle, the engine shakes and may stall. There is knocking sound during rapid acceleration. After starting, the engine tends to overheat during operation and frequently boils over. Excessively delayed ignition timing: The engine feels sluggish, weak, and may even overheat. When suddenly increasing the throttle opening, the engine speed fails to rise accordingly, and fuel consumption increases. During rapid acceleration, the exhaust pipe may sometimes backfire.
