^ like that. If you decide to not do it that way, and instead attempt to adjust the base idle set screw.. you'll more than likely be sorry.

So what's prompting you to want to adjust it? Car stalling? Cams?

I"m interested as well. My cold star rpm is a little problem after getting tuned. My car starts at 2100rpm and stays there for more than 3 minutes until it comes down to about 1000rpm . I would like the cold start to about 1800rpm and withing a min or so to come down to about 1k. Any ideas how to change this?

a search of the evoscan section will bring up the actual method to change your idle speed. The point being you must use evoscan to make the alteration. It involves flipping a computer switch during the physical maneuver, which can only be activated through evoscan.

As for the maps above they will change very little, their use is more for determining at what speed the car throws a code for out of whack idle speed. Maybe there is some effect too, but to make meaningful (big) changes to your idle it is likely you will have to go through evoscan.
