question about my idle after tune

hey guys i just got tuned yesterday and my tuner was screwing the set screw for the idle adjustment so the car wouldnt stall at lights because it was learning the new map from my tune. once i made it to the highway after 3 or 4 stalls the car was fine when i got into another area with lights. then later yesterday i drove to the gym and the car was fine but once i got out of the gym and started the car the idle would go up to 2k and stay there.

i messed with the set screw a little and now it is at like 1100rpms but am i ok or should i have them look at it? thanks

who was your tuner?

if your mods in your signature are right there is no reason for having idle issues that severe

I would never leave satisfied if my car couldn't even idle at a street light...that's nonsense

depends what all you changed as far as mods go, but its normal to have to adjust the BISS from time to time. if you rev your car to 6k just parked does it stop at around 2k and slowly drop to the preferred set idle?

adjust the biss until you can rev to like 6-7k and when it drops it slows down around 2k area, you dont want it dipping below 1k then the car will act stupid or stall. im sure your maps are fine. just need to get the biss where the cars happy.
