cars finally running...but the idle is very low.... at 0% throttle were seeing 560-620 rpms



the tps is calibrated fine thru the programming....just trying to get the car to idle at 750-850 ish





so how in the hell do i adjust the idle ... removed the BAC valve btw



thanks



mike

Good question. I have the same problem. I wish it would idle a little higher.

idle screw?

Your idle is low because the BACV is gone, you'll have to adjust the throttle stop screw, because the BACV used to provide idle air.



Kepping the BACV might actually be something you're interested in, the E6K can control it.

BTW, you have to recalibrate the TPS for the E6K if you adjust the throttle stop screw...

i told him that pengaru he doesnt listen to me.

Thanks guys I'll do that.

I got it. The idle screw on the throttlebody was adjusted. I had to get the intercooler up and off the UIM to see it clearly. I had the throttle cable mount bent to get it started and idleing. Once I found the screw it required the loosening of a jamnut. I removed the nut, turned the screw, started the car and set the idle, reinstalled the jamnut and put the intercooler back on.



Mike is currently on his way back hime to New Jersey. I am sure we will hear more about this adventure.



For those of you he bugged the hell out of in the last 48 hrs thank you. We got it on the road, got all the leaks fixed, got the idle set. Hardest thing I had to deal with was the no start condition. I swear I pulled that CAS out 12x trying to make sure I had it right. Coils were checked, spark was checked, etc etc. Its amazing what non-fouled plugs will do.....





Sean

lol yeah non fouled plugs work wonders

So he's driving the car currently on a road trip?



If so, sweet, this should be funny.

yeah he left with a smile from ear to ear. should be home by midnight or so.

that bastard, he was supposed to call me on my wifes cell when he got it running https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png does he have a cell on him? if you have the number PM it to me

just so you know, i told mike to do that as soon as he complained about idle problems, he just doesnt listen to me, the bastid.



anywho, glad he has his car back on the road, its about time.



De - > NJ in the rain SUX, me and martin went through that fiasco, but our rain was like a mini-typhoon, he just has wet road conditions.

Glad to hear you got it running.

Bump up the timing at the 500 rpm map a few degrees and make sure the air/fuel mixture is at it best, not too rich, or lean. At the point the engine sounds it happiest. Dont go too high on timing, no more that 5 degrees btdc.



Last method, adjust the throttle stop screw on the throttle body.

someone needs to make like a mbc idle valve
