You really don't want to just start adding or taking away timing to try solving this issue. The issue must be diagnosed and corrected properly.

What you're asking for may well end up grenading the engine if the parameters are adjusted without taking other ECU performance measurements into consideration.

The issue could be a leak somewhere in the vacuum system, intake leak, failed or failing spark plug (s), failing or leaking fuel injector(s), top end carbon buildup, blockage in the catalytic converter, etc

Forget bringing it to a dealer. IMO,, dealers have generally been the worst at everything except taking money. Find a good independent shop and have them dive into it.

I can recommend a couple shops however they are in Allenstown and Nashua respectively.

I can't advise you strongly enough to not go down the path you considering.
