Rough Idle/Stalling Datamaster File

Previous story: Idle Problem Link




Ok, I got the laptop from my friend, made a log of three cycles of the car stalling out. Anyone willing to take a look at the log please email or pm me with your email address so I can send you the log.

It looked to me like the IAC was driving itself shut, choking out the car. Since the tab to lock the IAC plug in the IAC is broken off, could I have possibly connected it wrong, and would it cause this problem.

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to help me here.

Another thing I just noticed was that at idle my LTerms were in the red @122 on both sides. They came up to about 134 on both sides when I goosed the throttle, but when I let off they returned to 122. Could this have something to do with it?

Also, for some reason the Target RPM was showing 200. That has got to have something to do with it.

From: so close I can taste it...
As long as the long terms aren't pegged at 108 and 160 then they are fine. That is how your ECM adjusts its fueling.

The target idle RPM probably has everything to do with your problem.

FIXED!!!!!

Well, sorta. I pulled the piggyback harness, and put the semi-stock chip that was there in. WHAM! Fired up, idled nice, idled with the A/C on, which is blowing cold air again, and revved all the way up!!!!

So, on to the more pressing issue: Which could be bad? The chip, and does that happen? Or BOTH of my piggyback adapters?
