Ignition Timing: Adjustments

The PCM uses information from the MAP and coolant sensors in addition to RPM to calculate spark advance as follows:
^ Low MAP output voltage = More spark advance.
^ Cold engine = More spark advance.
^ High MAP output voltage = Less spark advance. Hot engine = Less spark advance.
