IAC position vs effective area
stock not right anymore?
In my case I have just found that the epoxied TB with 1/4" hole
is only able to let 11 g/sec max, which makes everything over
IAC 150 "no help". Drilled it out to 3/8" and it's way better for
starting, surging and dying with A/C on (not anymore, woot!).
If you take all of your TPS=0 cells from a long log file and plot
airflow vs IAC like this, it may show you something you can use
to true up your Area vs IAC table, or fix the mechanical side of
it. If you are using a stock GM IAC then there should not be a
big difference in slope. Baseline air is your TB blade hole, slope is
IAC plunger coming off the seat, a limiting sort of line (like you
can see for the 1/4" trace) means a restriction besides the IAC
valve itself. Can't see offhand why you would ever see -excess-
IAC-metered air unless it was a non-stock IAC servo.
Also, the car is still having a hard time finding idle when I clutch in. Do I need to adjust my base running idle airflow or throttle follower or a little of both? Thanks!
