Tuning idle (bins) question

Post by 65looter »

There was a post on one of the forums which explained how to set your bins for idle.
Could someone tell me what's the trick in setting them up?

My idle should 850 - 950 rpms

thanks guys
(this is a general question, despite running the extra code it's a Microsquirt. Don't move this post as it has nothing to do with the code)

I remember reading something like:

Set second column at idle RPM

Set first column maybe 100 - 200 below idle RPM so you can set that column a bit richer than idle in case the engine starts to stall. This also gives you a good place to calibrate your startup "landing" point in the upper left (where you'll initialliy hit when starting).

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, nor if this is ideal, but it's what I'm using now, and it's working OK.

Cheers,
Paul
