Setting base idle using SAS mode....
long post, sorry!
My setup is as follows: 272's, valvesprings and retainers, FIC 750's, aeromotive fuel rail, stock FPR, albro 255, FP green, FP upgraded WGA, full-race pro-stock manifold, FP O2 housing, DC downpipe, greddy Ti catback, ETS intake, ETS FMIC and piping, HKS BOV re-circ'd, mil.spec ported TB and IM...
I just put back the car together to get her running, seasons almost over, but I'd like to have her running decently.
I did a boost leak test at 25 psi and things seem fine. I checked for exhaust leaks as well...
I am trying to figure out things on my end to help fix idle so the tune goes well, it doesnt idle so well and I am thinking its perhaps the injectors and latency, but also the throttle body as the BISS may be off...
I know about the SAS actuator mode via Evoscan that needs to be actuated.
So, I was wondering if this is how I would do it...
1) Let car warm up fully
2) Turn on SAS mode
3) set idle to 852 rpm turning the screw
With the 272 cams, will it even idle that low or idle well enough to set it?
- Is there a minimum no. of turns it needs to be set at or some way to verify where its set at?
- I was hoping to use evoscan and log rpms and set it that way? Any better ideas?
Thanks for your time!

Kinda hard when its a one man show. I suppose you mean turn, stick head into car and back out and adjust? I was wondering if one of the widgety electronic gauges may work - hard to set to 852 using the factory tach as well I feel.
How do you do it Tephra?

So, if I bumped her up to 1000 rpm via ecflash at idle, am I ok? Do I need to change the drive ones too? I don't have AC anymore, so I am not too concerned about the AC settings, I would think, unless you smart people tell me I need to mess with them as well...
PS - biggie - you changed your avatar - I still need to talk to you about setting up my truboost. I am all about getting idle and injector latencies knocked out for now...

Is there a possibility, it will not change, if I went all the way in..Just wondering. I had an issue with a honda one time which did this and I cannot remember what the root cause was....

Guys you are not setting your normal idle here. You are setting the base idle so the Ecu can then take your normal idle parameters into effect. Example, set BISS to 800-ish then set ECU to 1000. Should idle at 1000 when you exit the SAS mode.

ok, cool. Thats good to know. Thats what I was asking, I guess. BISS needs to be set at the stock idle and use ECUFlash to move to the desired idle.
I didnt know if the two needed matched up or not.

I'll note this never happened until i put cams on the car. I'm guessing the rougher idle of the cams sometimes confuses the maf.
