Default I'm trying to learn this idle thing.. need some help

Ok I am using this as a basis http://www.ls1tuning.com/iboard/index.php?showtopic=9
I am using EFI Live for this and my question is where it says:
Idle Limiters --> IAC Park Position: Raise all points from 40C and up to 21
Idle Limiters --> Idle Air In Gear: All points 60C and up to 8.6

Where do you do this at? This is for a 6spd also too. Do you do it under startup>startup idle air correction? Or General>Airflow Parked? Or General>Desired Airflow? I just need to know where to make the changes at, everything else I understand and dont have a problem with. Thanks

Brian

I would also make sure your IAC counts are in the correct range. I have seen this play havoc on cars with idle issues. Get these in line and it will help a bunch.

That's not really a good method. You need to find out what the right numbers are by looking at the idle trims, 8.6 won't work for all cars. Also since the car is a six speed don't do anything to the park/neutral tables.
