Very good write up, tkz

 

so bumped the idle up and its not doing the dip seems to be great but I'm going to lower it just a pinch cuz on "a closed road" testing it out last night I hit well over 100 get into 5th gear and just let off the gas and slowing down it doesnt seem to want to lol almost like the throttle is hanging. Could be me? I'll test it out again today

 

As for the not wanting to come down part, I know I've seen it mentioned before and cannot for the life of me recall what it was about and/or what the solution was. May need to hit up the search button for a while...

Cheers-
Erich

 

word im on it right now, it's probably me messing with all my idle settings? I'm searching

 

there was a few idle tables added for the IX's that give it a no **** the idle will not come below this level setting.... maybe the viii's have the same thing ?

 

yea the 05 & 06's and I got it all edited thank god lol I felt like when I was breaking I was fighting throttle. If anyone else has this issue or runs into it the thread is called "Throttle hang and the Idle Stepper Table"

So for now I'm back to all good and when I get on the dyno again here within a month I'll see how things go

 

that is so cool, I wonder if the innovate LC-1 can do this somehow. It doesnt have the "feature" but you can program its two analog outputs...

 

Well, the simulated narrowband switching point is what needs to be adjustable. If that can't be adjusted, the LC-1 won't be able to do this.

 

Also, if you have an autometer narrowband O2 gauge laying around, you can also wire it up to the zeitronix 0-5v linear output wire by purchasing $0.99 worth of resistors at radioshack. Its not as great as the digital readout gauge they offer for $139, but it may help a few guys keep an eye on their AFR's a bit better.

 

good info

 

^ haha your car looks like a convertible in your avatar (my screen gamma) cool

 

I'm getting the p0300 popping up and like you were saying if ya give it too much timing at idle it might do that so I was thinking I should change the table from 7's to 6's and 9's to 8's?

cuz you had me change the 5's to 7's and the 7's to 9's. Just thought I'd ask your opinion before hand.

 

its worth a try... the P0300 is such a pain to try and get rid of. You can drop timing and see if that helps. Also maybe gap your plugs a little tighter and check the condition.

 

Nice I'll drop it and I just threw in some new plugs the other day and gapped at .25
the p0300 is a bish it popped up after my clutch install and comes and goes from here to there randomly

hey this is off topic here but you got any pictures of your methonal kit install? I got the aquamist hfs-1 for myself for xmas hehe and soon as I get around to getting a reservoir I'll figure out how I want to mount everything etc.

 

i do but it wont help you... the aquamist kit is tons different than my SMC. There are a few aquamist threads though that will give you an idea of what is out there and how people are doing it.

as far as your gap goes... .025 is good for an VIII. Once you go meth though, it will have to get tighter. My stock gap on the IX is .024 i believe and on meth i went to a 1 step colder plug and then gapped them at .022 and my ignition seems to love it. You may be ready to go to a 1 step colder plug. Get hold of some BPR8ES or BPR8AIX i think they are.
