Default Raised my base spark, now idle goes way up?

I raised my base spark timing in park and drive tables to try get rid of bucking. I never touched this table after installing my TR224/224. I got rid of it, but now when I first start the car when cold, the idle shoots right up to 1500 and stays there for a good 5 seconds.


Did I ad too much timnig?


Thanks,
Jason

What did you raise it to??
You can pull the start up RPM down by making the "Idle Flare Control" more aggressive at 900 and 1000 RPM ( say, -25* to - 30*). Also you could reduce the "Start Up Airflow Correction" value. Both should help.

I am not looking at the file right now, but I think I set the first four or five columns at 22*. I will screen shot it when I get home from work.

Thanks,

Here is the base spark in drive, its the same in park as well.

When you talk about Idle flare control...should I raise it to -25 and go from there?

Thanks for the help!
