Default I.a.c. Extra Idle Air Project

I.A.C. EXTRA IDLE AIR PROJECT

PROJECT
  • CORRECT OPEN THROTTLE BLADE ANGLE AT IDLE (CAUSED; BY LARGE CAMSHAFT & HEADS, USED TO ALLOW ENGINE TO IDLE)
  • CORRECT HIGH T.P.S. VOLTAGE AT IDLE
  • CORRECT S.E.S. CODE 21 (HIGH TPS VOLTAGE) AT W.O.T.
  • TRIM OUT BLOCK LEARNS ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT OPEN THROTTLE BLADES AT IDLE IS CAUSING THIS DISRUPTION
  • ATTAIN 30- 50 STEPS OF I.A.C. AT IDLE WITH BLADES CLOSED 100%



AND AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH: HERE IS THE FIX


THE PARTS

(Lowes or a local hardware store)

x1 3/8"HOSE BARB x 1/4NPT FITTING PICTURE

X1 3/8" X 3/8" HOSE BARB COUPLING OR UNION PICTURE

1 FOOT OF 3/8" ID HIGH TEMP TUBING

TOTAL PRICE: $3.75


________________________________________

Here are some pics showing you where the fittings and hoses are placed and routed.

Here is where you can see the shiny new tubing rapping up and underneath the throttle body, (note the lack of Hot water ports on the TB)

  • THROTTLE BLADES ARE 100% CLOSED AT IDLE
  • TPS VOLTAGE CORRECTED TO 0.61 AT IDLE FROM 0.8 VOLTS
  • BLOCK LEARNS TRIMMED OUT
  • S.E.S. CODE 21 IS NOW GONE AT W.O.T.
  • OFF THROTTLE RESPONSE IMPROVED DRAMATICALLY
  • ENGINE SMOOTHED OUT DRAMATICALLY ACCROSS THE POWER BAND, NOTED KNOCK COUNTS DRAMATICALLY DROPPED TO ALMOST NONE

"Woopty doo... What does it all mean Basil?"
Is that a correction for running a large-lift cam in a TPI(?) powered car?

It doesn't bother me, I was just being a bit of a smartass. I am curious as to what caused the problem that you cured. Why you had to cure it, etc, etc? I just don't understand most of the jargan (sp?) that you used.

Somebody willing to learn something new is something i can handle, and enjoy...... just as much as i enjoy learning from somebody who can teach me......

Ive learned a lot just talking with Pat about his turbo eclipse.... I try to keep an open mind... and of course as most already know , who know me on this board.... know i enjoy imports and or domestics.....

To answer your question,

The Stock I.A.C. valve controls the idle speed of the engine.....

when a large camshaft, and higher flowing cylinder heads are installed, this increases the demand of CFM at idle....

Which the I.A.C. alone cannot handle.... without opening the Throttle blades at idle.....

which is incorrect.....

that was the point of the project... to deliver the right CFM of air needed to idle.... without cracking the blades of the throttlebody with the throttle stop screw......

Thanks, that's what I was wanting to know. Sorry, but I just have a smartass approach sometimes. I didn't mean any harm by it. I'm almost thinking about getting a 98 SS, I'm just looking around for the right one.
