Talking The ultimate Idle fix~~ this worked for me!!!~~~ :)

Hey guys!!~~ I finally found out what fixed my freakin annoying bouncing idle!!! I set the numbers on the commander in this order and it fixed the idle bounce really dramatically... I do get idle bound once in a while but it goes away after 2 times or so....
My idle bouncing problem was really bad and many people who saw my car knew that as well.... so here is my know-how of my fix and I hope it will work for you guys too.....
The strange thing is that even though I set the idle rpm to 500 it idles perfectly at around 800 or so.... my engine is ported so who knows.....

Try this out and tell me how thier PFC is responding....
PEACE!~~~

I think what's happening is that your idle without idle control (or with idle control completely closed) is set at 800rpms. So when you set your PFC to less than 800 rpms, it essentially just closes the ICV completely, which leaves your engine running at its "base" idle.

I could be totally off, but it seems like logically what's happening...

Go to the ECT screen and hit NEXT. Then go to the (I think, it's been a bit) function menu, hit NEXT. This brings you into the screen where you can turn your seq turbos on or off, O2 feed back on or off, ign idle control on or off and another that I don't remember off the top of my head.

the thing is when I disconected the ISC and controlled idle manually.... when the car is warmed up it works great!!~~ but when the car is cold...man... it dies out right away because i think it needs more fuel for the cold air or sumthing... so I connected it again and tried it this way and it worked!~~
Is anyone elses running good with my setup??? or is it just me???
My idle was just as bad or worse than most peoples idle problems.. but magically this fixed it...
