Default IAC Count Clarification: In gear or out?

Ok, I drill the TB to get my IAC counts to:
xxx warm engine in drive

or

xxx warm engine in park?

Thanks!

Mark,

It's in gear warm to show what's happening under load. That 30 - 35 range is the sweet spot but if you get to 35 - 50, I'd drive it for a week or so to let the PCM fully learn before trying to drill again. I went a 1/64 larger than I needed with the heads and cam setup. So I would see it dip to below 19 and some times get to single digits. The primary concern is that the IAC pintle may become stuck from operating fully closed with a 0 count.

In my case, the fix was to put the 422 in to raise the IAC again. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Thanks Rick, that's what I was looking for!

I hear you will no longer need to worry about closed loop "tuning" issues!

Yep, Greg and the gang set her up for open loop while trying to clean up a electrical "Dohhhhh!" I made. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> There's a top secret agent from Watertucky way that's been helping out too. Need to make sure I get them all out for a beer. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

They are going to add a bit more fuel this week and get her up for a dyno run. That will leave the back ordered mounts for the rear sway bar and I'm off to visit McCormak Racing for wheels and tires based on your previous recommendations. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Gessshhh... Sounds like you could have used Maltby, Drapier and Mccarty from the grind line to help you out. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I like the look of the Weld Pro Stars too, but just can't see doing the grinding spacer routine for the wider wheels this year. I'm still a season away on the role cage for now.
