Bouncing Ignition Timing at Idle Meaning

Topic starter

Hi all, happy friday.

Theoretical question, so I've seen some videos where scotty uses a scanner to look at live data, and looks at the ignition timing of a car while idling. He's mentioned that when the value is stable at idle then its good, but if its bouncing around alot, it may mean the timing chain/belt is worn or stretched. How is he able to make that conclusion? What sensor(s) are used to determine the ignition timing when the rpm & load are constant?

Crankshaft and camshaft positioning sensors.
