Hi all, Scott emailed me about the information below not being accurat to some extent. Spell check notwithstanding the word in first sentance should read setup. As to the rest of the information it is regarding Digifant, two words over from (setu) Mark Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2008 10:33:58 -0800 From: Mark Keller <kelphoto@TELUS.NET> Subject: ECU high idle Hi, I'm experienced with the fuel injection setu on digifants. I thought the 87 was such. If so the idle stabilizer is in the ECU, and the idle air motor is all that's in the engine bay. As far as useful information, The ECU operates on assumptions, like fuel pressure. For a good read, try searching the archives unde my email, just kelphoto. Look for how to setup the base fuel injection and you can see what controls you have, like idle air bypass, spring tension, and CO mixture. They are important for cold starts, since no O2 is available. The ECU basic start adjustment is based on the above variables to be set. From there it adds timining or modifiy fuel pulse, and idle air, to keep rpm. If the base values are off, then the ECU adjustments either over or under correct. Then the computer gives up on a normal idle and then goes for a high idle just to keep the engine running. read through the archives, pmail me, I'm on digest mode, and I can get you more detailed diagnostic focus.
