Lol no idea what happened with that idle curve. It was supposed to be even with the point before. Maybe I was trying to do what brain said and tune from 1000 rpm. Rpm dot is the same as yours, that is still too high at 90? Set it closer to like 50? I didn't know what the sensitivity did so I probably should have had that way lower. Maybe that's why it was so touchy all the time as I was trying to adjust. Do you bump that up as you get it more fine tuned?

Edit: Nvm about the rpm dot I see what you were referencing after looking at your build pic closer

if i recall with the sensitivity slider once you get the other settings pretty go you adjust the sensitivity up until you get oscillations then back down until the oscillations stops

Nope I don't have A/C till I can find a bracket, good catch. Thought it would be okay to remove it till summer hit and being a street car my fiancée is begging me to put it back in. I adjusted what you told me so I'll have to see if it works and get back to you. What is the reasoning behind your idle VE numbers being double the initial values? I need to do more research, but maybe you can answer my queston. Are they were supposed to be a just a little above (3-5%) what the idle cells are set at?

https://www.advanced-autosports.com/...uct-style-vent

get these instead of AC

the idle ve is my fuel and the idle initial values are stepper motor position. so what i did was set the timing and fuel to give me max vacuum at 14.7 AFR then the before i was in cl idle i found the idle values and they were pretty much spot on with braineaks. the idle values are how much the idle valve opens. Im sure you know how to find your values for your car do the idle valve test mode and go up and down until idle stops changing.

Oh okay that makes sense! Your settings worked really well by the way. I'm getting a little oscillation during my warmup still. Looked like it was something with when I enter Idle VE and CL Idle so I'll need to adjust that setting but otherwise it idled great. The tune you gave me is giving me a good starting point for fine tuning it to mine specifically. Those ducts are cool. Does that go in your small triangle windows?
