Didn't get any help/advice on the scan tool section so I placed it here for the experts. These are the reading I took after the car was warmed up at a stand still. Thanks for any help in advance on how to correct the ones out of the norm.

AF 9
L8 49
INT 08?
BL 146
CLT 157
ATS 91
R 900-925
TPS .44
IAC 68
CC 00
MAL 0

Combo is in my signature. Thanks.

Everything looks about right for your setup, except you might try and get the IAC down to around 10-20 in park (or whatever Steve Y recommends).

-Af looks off (too high) should be 5-6
-bl look kinda high as well (maybe a vac leak?)
-Iac should be between 10-40 counts
-cc should not read zero./should fluctuate from o1-230,250
This is what i have read/someone could correct me if i'm off.
 
How too's

Thanks for the replies fellas.

1. How do I lower the IAC?

2. What is the CC? What does it read?

Thanks.
 
CC is the oxygen sensor cross counts. It cycles from 0 to 255 and keeps looping. The faster it cycles through the numbers, the more active your O2 sensor is, which is a good thing.
There is a routine for setting the IAC on gnttype.org. There are two pins on the ALDL connector that you jump with a paper clip, and then you turn the ignition on. This causes the IAC to push the pintle forward and fully seat on the hole it normally seals up. The comp then logs the step count (its a little stepper motor), in that position where it is fully extended and sealing the hole. Then you turn off the ignition, pull that paper clip, disconnect the IAC connector, and turn the ignition on. You fire the motor up (the engine nees to be warmed up before you start this procedure), and then you turn the idle adjustment screw on the throttle body until you reach 500rpm, or until the engine dies. Then once the motor dies, you turn the ignition off, you plug the IAC back in and restart the motor. You should refer to the directions for better detail. Those IAC counts are the number of steps the motor has moved, to idle where it is idling. It shouldnt have to be so far out to idle, like yours is. You get the throttle blade opened a little more so that its not depending so much on the IAC to get the air it needs to idle. The IAC is just a little motorized valve that bypasses air around the throttle blade so it can idle. Its not like an old carb car where the blades leak so much that the engine can idle. Throttle bodies tend to have a much tighter seal between the blade and bore. The computer controls warm up and idle speed using the IAC. Your counts should be in the 15-30 range.
By the way, my AF (MAF flow reading) is at 2 on my car during warmed up idle. But I have an extender chip, so the actual number is probably about 4. Your engine may require more air to idle because of the cam, but who knows..

Thanks for your detailed instructions/help :) I'll try to adjust it this Friday at the Q, are you coming or going to HB Saturday?

Not sure. There's some family going to some GN show, but not sure where. I have a huge oil leak to fix. So tired of this POS.
 
The BL on the maxeffort may be skewed by your TW setting.

To drop IAC simply crack open the throttle blade 1/4-1/2 turn at a time. Drive the car and see where it settles.

IAC is how much the plunger is moving to allow you to idle at the programmed RPM. The more closed the TB is... the higher the IAC count.

Not that doing this also alters your TPS.. so readjust your TPS accordingly. I naver liked doing the "jump the pin" procedure.

My way in a few minutes its dialed in.

And do the setting all accessories off. AC/Lights/etc.. anything that can load the motor down. target 20.. actually anything above zero is OK.

TPS .38-.46

Thanks! I didn't get a chance to adjust things today so maybe Friday. I'll do like you said, seems easier :)
