Hello all,
I've heard of a few ecu's being able to control engine idle speed via the ignition, is this possible via ms? I want to control my ignition via my ms eventually but becuase i have itb's on my rover v8 i have no way of actively controlling idle speed other than the air bleeds on each tb which once set stay there so that it'd be cool if i could have some sort of idle speed control. I don't want to tap a iscv into each manifold runner as its complex enough in my engine bay already!
Also, can i control a range rover coil pack setup via edis and ms?

Like the above one. Its a completed ebay listing so you may have to log in to view it.
thanks for your time people!
Can you control idle speed via ignition?

hm... not officially, but you can create some sort of setup for controlling idle...
more idle advance will generate higher rpm's... (i.e. make engine stronger...duh).
so thay way io got mine setup is that at 800rpm i run 10 degrees and at 750rpm i run 15 degrees. so basically if the engine falls below 800rpm, it will get extra timing to make it stronger, which causes it to idle between 750 and 800 rpm

no worries man. thats what I have implemented to control idle and prevent stalling and it works great
