Idle RPMs drop below what is set in Edit....why? I have my idle RPM set at 1050 in gear and park in LS1 Edit, but when I put it in gear it drops below 1000 and stalls out. Any ideas why it would do this? How can I fix it? Thanks!

Re: Idle RPMs drop below what is set in Edit....why? did you drill the throttle blade, or adjust Idle air and timing in edit? with that cam I would think you would have to compensate at idle.

Re: Idle RPMs drop below what is set in Edit....why? Yeah, the TB hole is 1/4", I didn't adjust Idle Air, what should I do to it?
I lowered the timing at idle, and I upped the IAC in Park values a little.

Re: Idle RPMs drop below what is set in Edit....why? Right now I have the idle set screw to keep it running at almost 2000 RPM, they are about 90-100. I think I might need more air to keep it idling lower, anyone know what I need to change my Idle Air values to?
I multiplied my IAC Park values by 150%, I couldn't find anywhere to change them in gear, where would I do that at?

Re: Idle RPMs drop below what is set in Edit....why? With a 0.25" TB hole and IAC at 90-100, sounds like it's getting plenty of air. I'd try putting the idle timing back to stock or even higher; that will definitly help it to idle faster.

Re: Idle RPMs drop below what is set in Edit....why? It will idle in Park, the problem is when I put it in gear, it dies. I thought if it idled fine in park but started hunting when you put it in gear, that was a sign of too much timing? Either way, it still won't hold the idle now, so I might as well change it back.
Thanks for the tip on IAC Park thing.

Re: Idle RPMs drop below what is set in Edit....why? Okay, so are you saying that changing the Idle Air table won't affect how it idles in gear? I realize that there isn't a table named Idle Air in Gear, I was asking if I should modify the Idle Air table at all.
Re: Idle RPMs drop below what is set in Edit....why? I'd try jacking up the RAF (in gear) and see what happens; it's easy enough to change it back. I tried scaling mine by 120% yesterday and didn't notice anything different, so I changed it back. BTW I'm a M6 so that may not mean anything to you.
Re: Idle RPMs drop below what is set in Edit....why? That's the same table you were refering to as "Idle Air in Gear" I believe. If you go to "Idle Air" first, then you get a window that says "Running Air Flow" hence RAF. You then have a line for both "in gear" and "In neutral." I'm saying leave "In neutral" RAF alone but jack up the "in gear" RAF and see what happens.
