Idle Air Control
The idle stepped does something, but I'm not confinced it's right. I connected the 4 wires from the stepper to the A,B,C & D channels (on the EC18 connector) going clockwise round the motor looking at it from the connector end. My stepper is an "anti-stepper" like Marcell's... It was operating the wrong way round at first.
Idle controls
Idle afterstart RPM (added value?) - Value to add to base idle speed when the car is first started.
Idle afterstart duration (s) - the duration to do the above for.
IAC afterstart (steps per 160 rpm) - don't understand what this is getting at.
Max steps to extend - total number of steps the motor can do. I managed to shoot the pin out of the end of mine. Don't do this as they get stuck in awkward places...
IAC step sequence - Lots of things, depending on how you wire up your motor. Mine was 201. ie drive C, then B, then D, then A.
stepper speed (ms) - Speed motor moves at. ie time between steps. 0 ms is fast and can shoot the pin a long way (see earlier)
iac_conf RAW - no idea! something to do with raw hex config?
See the IAC section of: MembersPage/MarcellGal/EngineSwap/AirFeed for more info. on config
I thought I'd cracked this. but I havent: I still can't get a stable idle without the engine racing. Hmmm.
Config

| IAC afterstart (steps per 160 rpm) | 25 |
| Max steps to extend | 250 |
| IAC step sequence | 201 |

Idle step bins:
220 when at 71.1 degrees (no point in including the rest of the table as it's a warm idle problem)
The idle valve says it is at 80% on Megatune's display page, yet the idle still races at 1300 to 1400 RPM. I don't think there's a leak in the plenum, as that's all I can think of that would cause the problem.
Help!
