I purchased evoscan last night and messed with it a little. I couldn't find a digital RPM gauge face to view the RPM while adjusting the screw. I just discovered the widget gauges, so I'll try again tonight.

does it log while you put it in SAS mode? If so, that may work too...

I couldn't get RPM to display while I was in SAS mode. Let me know if you find anything.

All you need is a digital RPM gauge to be displayed while you activate the SAS actuator, however, I can't get one (digital) to display. You could get it close with the tach, but I wanted something more accurate.
I noticed that you can load a gauge layout but none of them are digital. I found a digital gauge in the widget menu but don't know how to get it to work while activating the SAS actuator.

I got it to work using the widget digital gauge.

Logging/Log Data to File (un-check this, you don't need to create a file just to set the idle)

Gauges & Dashboards/Add Edit Gauge Widget.
select one of the digital gauges
Right click on the gauge image/Numeric Indicator/Engine RPM.
Edit template/select numeric indicators/total digits/4/apply.
Click creaet new widget.
Your gauge should be setup on the desktop, close your widget window.

You set the idle to 850 (everything electrical turned off), SAS activated and it still stalls?

hmm, maybe you guys could help me out
i bought my evo with some mods already
the idle was at 2k rpm, kinda loud

when doing a routine check up the mech guy did lowered it with the screw, now its 850-1000 rpm

but the car got weak, the oil light sometimes lid up and it almost dies
and the fan is on all the time, is it right?

852 w/ ac on.

cfit, That doesn't seem right. If it sounds like it's going to stall at 850/1000, I'd guess it has some aggressive cams in it, maybe? It would help if you could find out exactly modifications the car has.

Edit: OK, I just tried to do this again to write up a how to and now the widget gauge won't read correctly. very confusing.
