JDM EP3 Type-R idle problem - high idle rpm
Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2010 3:38 am
So I just recieved my K-Pro, plugged it in with the base tune - and before anyone asks; i didnt try to drive it on the base tune lol.
When I started the car (from cold) the car sat at around 2900rpm - which wasnt that far off from my original ECU. However - as the car warmed up, the idle didnt drop at all.
So then I loaded up one of my friend's tunes from his DC5 ITR which had only done intake + catback.
Checked the idle setting in the K-Pro, and it was set to 850rpm.
After some further examination, I found out that my TPS reading was way out of whack -WOT was normal, but closed throttle it was sitting at 70% throttle "on".
So using Kmanager I calibrated it as far as the the "minimum reading scale" would let me - and closed throttle still read 50%. Therefore I adjusted the TPS sensor as far back as it would go (was originally reading 0.35V); which brought it down to 12-13% - however this is with the minimum scale on kmanager set to 40%.
Started the car again.... no difference! Idle still sat at approx 2900rpm.
The weird thing is that I never had this issue before I swapped out my ECU; so my mate suspects its something mechanical from sitting around for 2 months.
Anyone?
