Every car is different. What is your car showing and why are you concerned about it?

Re: spark advance
At idle that sounds fine. It gives more advance so the fuel burns more completely for emissions.

Re: spark advance
Normal. It does that to not guzzle fuel at idle once it's warmed up.
Try hooking your scanner up when it's cold. Seeing negative numbers on there is kind of freaky at first.
