Closed Loop Idle Initial Values

Post by belalegosi »

What are the units of the column (PWMIDLE..)?
I'm assuming it is Load (kpa) but when connected and idling the tracking icon is up in the 110/140 range.

MS3 using a stepper motor for IAC.

Thanks James.
I was WAY off! This explains why my idle is terrible when cold but pretty mint when warm :lol:

One more question that I'm not sure if I should start a new thread.

How do I datalog indicators?
example: CL idle, Fuel Cut, Launch In, etc

Most are logged, indirectly if they are not directly.

They are sometimes hiding in the Status Bit fields.

Check in the manual and you can see what status field and bit represents what you are seeking.
Then in MLV you can add a calculated field to show it.

This is also something I was thinking of adding to TS.
Somewhere adding a list of all indicators defined in the ini and make it so you can add them to the custom.ini to be data logged.

Thanks Phil!
Simplifying it in a future release would definitely be helpful.
