I don't know if the 'squirt add to the 10 degrees or simply recognises it - 
looking at my last tables...  1500 rpm 75 kpa is 25 degress.  (which is about 
where Bob's log  is).  Normal idle would be about 900 rpm, 40-50 kpa and would 
be 13 degrees.

Yes the fuel rail has the Schrader valve on it.

Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] Misfiring Zetec

if all 4 new plugs were sooty then they all must have been firing ,other wise 
they would be clean and wet.
If the EDIS module was running in limit home mode (not getting a timing signal 
from Ecu) then it runs fixed timing (10 degrees i think) but it should still 
idle.

Did the fuel rail have the pressure measuring valve on it Matthew ?, some 
Zetec's did and some didn't.
