Anyone running a manual idle?, mine's crap Options

[ncgalant]

Well since pretty much the day I bought my galant the idle has been all over the place. For the first year 85% of the time it would sit at 900 like a good little car. Then sometimes she would decide that 1800 would be better. Well anyone that has watched( least my car ) a DSM try and idle at 1800 would see that at 1600 the ECU drops out fuel and you have a wonderful up and down surge.

Durring my turbo install I pulled the coolant lines off of the throttle body and used them to cool my turbo so that is sitting open right now and my idle controler is simply unpluged.

My plan in the near future is to pull off my throttle body, replace my shaft seals, and block off the idle controler and faiv completely. After doing this I am hoping to be able to maintain a fairly constaint idle by just adjusting the biss screw(I don't have AC either). Is anyone else runnin their car like this and if so how is it running? Thanks all.

Also if you guys don't mind I was going to do a little writeup much like this on each of my projects from now on. Hopefully someone will read it and tell me an easier way to do something.

To force an idle without an IAC, you'll need to be able to adjust your ignition timing table to have two peaks of about 15 degrees on either side of the idle timing position at the RPM you want to run. This is usually enough to set an idle with the screw, but you could also play with the fuel tables around idle as well.

It will probably be fairly hard to get it to idle with any stability if you can't modify the tables.
