Idle position switch on/off in Evoscan - big problem

Hello. At first I want to wish all of You Happy New Year !

Now - my problem is, that in column "idle position switch" my value is still ZERO.

I had problems with my electric harness - nb o2 sensor was disconnect from my ECU, but I fixed it. Then I've discovered this "idle position switch" problem. Evoscan still showing zero. I guess it should said "on" or "off" ?

It's really bad, because my car doesn't have idles and throttle response @ driving is very, very agressive.

Thx for answer. If You are sure, now I have bigger problem because I have really no idles. Maybe I should put some stock-set ROM, but I do not have any. Can I put some base tephra rom for start ?

Log "ISC" in Evoscan to see if your idle steps are changing (ISC-idle speed control is a stepper motor).

Yes, they are but I don't know they're correct.

Short log:


Maybe this issue now is related with my Kelfords 272'. I really don't know what changes should I make in this table. Maybe this would be some solution

if Im not mistaken...
access the "actuators" on evoscan, hit the idle switch
adjust the idle screw in the engine bay

maybe add a little timing in the idle area first.


maybe the european cars don't have the switch?

No 7/8/9 has idle position switch , thats not what he asked in original post , completely different to what the actuators in evoscan is for . the one in evoscan (sas mode) parks the stepper motor so you can set the idle with the Air bypass screw on the throttle body.

todd6027 so it means, that I must:
1. turn on ign (or start engine ? )
2. turn on Evoscan
3. adjust this screw until I get "on" or "off"

???

No. Ignore the switch. You don't have it. Don't log it.

Follow the factory service manual's directions on how to set the idle. You'll probably want to set it around 1000 RPM, rather than the factory default.

No , open evoscan (dont start logging) ,start the eng let it idle , on the right hand side see actuators on the bottom select speed adj mode ,then turn the air bypass screw in the throttle body in to slow down idle or out to speed up idle to around 850rpm ,de activate then .
