Idle too low after slowing down
Idle too low after slowing down
I guess it's just the opposite problem the other guy had.
After 58 mm throttle body install, it idles fine.
But, sometimes when coming to a stop, the idle drops well below the set 900 rpm and will almost stall. It slowly comes back up to the set idle.
Can I adjust the iac follower vs rpm to fix this?
Thanks,

Yep, sounds like the IAC valve is not open enough when the throttle blades are suddenly closed not allowing enough air to bypass the TB to keep the motor running. Can also trying opening the TB adjustment screw some as long as it doesn't effect the idle too much...making it too high.

Now, having the adj screw backed all the way out means when you let off the throttle, the blades close completely only leaving what air can pass thru the IAC valve to keep the motor running...this can cause the motor to shut off due to lack of air or idle iradically for a few seconds after letting off the throttle before the IAC can open enough to keep the rpms up. There are also some tables to control how far the IAC is open based on TPS or rpm..can't remeber exactly which..but it s IAC follower table so the IAC open steps vary with rpm/tps that can also be adjusted but I have never had to mess with that table.

The problem seems to be getting better as time goes on. Maybe the computer is learning, I don't know. If it doesn't get better, perhaps opening the throttle blades is in order.
One thing for sure, the problem doesn't occur when it's first started and in open loop.
And Rob, thanks for the info. Man, you have a killer garage! All's i got is a one car garage. The AC unit for the house and the water heater are in there too just to make things worse.
