a "no idle control valve" question

Post by 65looter »

I do not have an idle control valve installed, could someone tell me where could i find the setting in megatune to make sure the system is not trying to look for one?

cheers

65looter - If you're not using the FIdle output for idle or spark, just ignore the settings, which are in MegaTune under Basic Settings/Engine constants and /Codebase & outputs.

Yes, if you are wired to use those outputs in that manner.

I don't think Phil wired them that way.
If I swap for
FIDLE SparkA
LED17 Squirt

when I start the car, it's like there is a short somewhere, turn off the engine, and the starter kicks back...etc.. :|

I guess I am stuck with the
IIDLE Idle control
LED17 SparkA
