timing
Timing is like setting a clock for when the spark plug should fire. If it's too early or late, the engine wonβt run smoothly.
Timing in an engine context usually refers to ignition timing, the point at which spark plugs fire relative to piston position. Proper timing is essential for efficient combustion and performance.
