There are a few videos online that explain this - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q43oZ86Bn5Y being one example for a 3.0 . . . don't know if it is the same. But . . . it will get you into an area that has many other videos. There is one that I thought was in my bookmarks (not) that is done by an older mechanic that is clear and very understandable. The answers to most of your questions is "yes" but you are still far from getting a real fix. There is only one way it will work - no retard advance mechanically available ... all that is done electronically. Good luck.
