Idle tuning with M6
Idle tuning with M6 I'm trying to tune my idle in a E40 PCM with a M6 transmission and the idle air tables have a reference to both "in gear" and "neutral".
Previously when I tuned the car with the auto it was pretty simple to know exactly when the tune referenced what eg. P vs. N vs. D.
But with a manual I'm not so sure, or that it even takes into account both of these. Does anyone know? Is it as simple as when the shifter is in neutral or when the clutch is depressed that the tune references the "neutral" part and any other time it references the "in gear" part?
I'm trying to have the car idle relatively low in neutral but then ramp up the RPMs a bit more when in gear to help with low speed maneuvering.
