What version of the code fixed it? Is it the v2.36 of the embedded code? I don't want to pull out board and go through all that if I don't need to. I'm running version 2.1. I get it running so nice and then once in a while the idle goes a little high. Drives me nuts.

IAC is killing me too. I so wish I had a carburetor again. I overcome this though. I've got mine figured out. Here's what I did.

I had to increase the number to that IAC goes to when I start the engine. This can be found at settings, idle control, Start Value field. I increased mine so it would ...

Sounds as if the TPS might be wired backwards. It would be easy to do but you should notice it in Megatune.

My problem was stupidity. I found 3 of the 4 wires that I labeled were mislabeled. Once I confirmed which IAC pins belonged to what coil I then determined polarity. I figured out how to make the IAC make it's steps by alternating power to the coils. Then I traced the wires completely from IAC to ...

This is making sense. I think it is working backwards then. It fired the pintle across the garage twice on me last night when I powered up the system. I never once saw it suck the pintle in and keep it keep it in a somewhat retracted position. I'll try changing some wires tonight and see what the ...

I have no throttle stop on this TBI. GM used the IAC to control all idle control(I believe). Otherwise I would cheat and set the the set screw for now and work on the other issues I'm having.

When you stay retract(like the manual says) does that mean fully closed or fully open? I think of it as ...

New setup won't idle possible IAC problem.

Setup is a AMC 304 V8 with Chevy TBI and sensors. I was able to get an idle the first two times I test fired the engine. Now it just dies as soon as the throttle plates close. I've read the section really carefully about how to calibrate the IAC. I'm getting strange results compared to what the ...
