PWM Idle Dashpot???
I am about to start experimenting with PWM idle. In rereading the help section in Megatune I realize I never quite knew what Dashpot was or is? Is this an input or an an event? A simple explanation will probably get me or the hump:=)

PWM Idle Dashpot???
'Dashpot' as referred to in the docs for closed loop idle is an algorithm that mimics a throttle dashpot (damper). Basically, closed loop idle closes teh dashpot for maximum engine braking when you come back to idle, it needs to open up the AIC to regulate idle. Currently, it uses the last valid idleDC and adds a few more counts to it (what we calle the dashpot) and waits for the idle to settle out (dashpot settling time).

great to hear! Some have struggled, others have it going. I have been running it for a while.

I will post my settings tomorrow. Funny tho I was playing with the PWM settings trying to get rid of the hunting then the idle control just stopped working. I probably changed a setting wrong. I hope I didn't burn something out.
I am done for the night. I just read the thread "MS1 Pwm Idle does not work." and have some ideas for tomorrow.
