Idle issues?

hova · 10-24-2006, 05:32 PM

04 WRX auto, 18g, alky(100% meth), turboback, pe800, all other supporting mods. Car idles low so my ? is can the idle be turned up while the car is in gear. Instead of just turning the idle up while in park or neutral.

I don't see any maps for that. But I think the TCU tells the ECU what idle to run while in gear so you aren't over heating the transmission while sitting in traffic.

You need to figure out what the problem is with the idle, not try to tune around a possible mechanical problem. My guess is a slight intake leak.

Thanks because it really is starting to get annoying. The car never idled like this before until recently
