Although so far I’ve managed to tweak whatever I’ve needed with the Emerald I find myself in the situation of having a poor idle now.
My car doesn’t have any of the vaccuum hoses, not even the ones to the fuel pressure regualtor.
Ok, it has the IACV ones, but that’s it. So no leaks.
And around Feb it started to idle consistently high while cold (about 2.5K rpm) and drop down to 800-900 rpm when hot). Obviously too low, as it eventually dies on traffic.
Have changed the Lambda, cleaned the IACV and tried to adjust the mapping, but no use, it tends to idle low when hot.
Would like to try a different IACV, anybody’s got one lying about? Maybe those of you who have gone for engine conversions or Jenveys?
Since you have an emerald why don’t you do away with the IACV all together. DVA removed mine and it runs perfectly hot or cold. I’m sure this has been discussed before.
I still have my old IACV which I would be willing to lend for you to try, but I am going skiing tomorrow for a week so you may be better to try somebody else. I’ll check back when I return.
Ok, thanks guys.
Having talked with Dave (da man) Walker extensively during my last maping session over there we came to the conclusion that it would be best to leave it there, but can see your points.
Would like to give it another shot, and if I can’t sort it out then I’ll just do away with it
