Question Typical IAC count Cammed Z28

I've got a CC306 in my Z28. After setting idle to around 1k RPM while in drive with car warmed up the IAC count is maxed out at 160. I tinkered around with the Idle screw on the throttle body to try and get it down. Unfortunately all that did was make the engine rev up to around 1.5k rpm w/ no change in IAC count.

I'm trying to determine if my IAC is toast. Could some people tell me if these numbers sound in order? Once moving from park (900rpm idle speed) to drive the engine drops to about 600rpm and slowly moves up to the 1k rpm drive idle speed.

Thanks for the help!

You turned the car off when you adjusted the stop screw right? If not you will be chasing it and it will not change.

Re: Typical IAC count Cammed Z28

I try to run my CC306 car between 60 and 90 counts when warmed up. Close the throttle blades to increase counts, open the blades to decrease counts. I adjust my screw while scanning until I hit the window. If this does not work then your IAC may be toast.

Ok cool. I'm working to reprogram my PCM for the cc306 do you guys have any experience working with this cam?

Thanks

Re: Typical IAC count Cammed Z28

Yep,

You'll definately need to rescale the MAF table. With the stock tables, the PCM will pull fuel like crazy at the lower RPM's and Air Flows. At the higher RPM and AFGS the PCM will add fuel due to better volumetric efficiency. Work to get the MAF tables in good order.

Probably have to bump up idle speed table a bit.
Adding about 4 degrees of closed throttle timing in and around the idle range seems to help clean up idle a little
You may have to pull some timing out of the main table in the cruise range to prevent surging.

Oh Yea,

Make sure you have ZERO exhaust leaks upstream from the O2's or all your tuning will be wasted.

You didn't happen to expierence any knock with your install did you? If so what did you do about it? Thanks for the help!

Question Re: Typical IAC count Cammed Z28

I got myself some new 1.6:1 roller rockers and started back into tuning the IAC. I can get the counts within good range. However, when I start the car it revs up to about 1500 rpm then slowly drops down to 1k rpm (new idle i set the car at)... how do I fix it so it doesn't do that?
