i have a 91 240sx. my timing is retarded all the way. this was set by the previous owner i guess to pass smog. does this cause the car temp to rise or overheat? im planning to fix the timing this weekend and set it to stock.

I doubt it. look up timing or idle in tutorials. check how much coolant you have in radiator. .
