I found that the IACV was all the way open, so I twisted it down all the way and back open about 1.5 turns. This time when I started the car it ran much much better, but still rough. So I decided to see what happened if I tried to drive it, and about two houses down the street it seemed to iron out several wrinkles and ran much better. I cruised around the block on very little throttle and then, once I got home I let off the throttle and let it idle. Now it idled much better, but it was hunting a ton, between 500 and 1500rpms. The consult said that the timing was going back and forth from 5* to 18*. So I tried putting it into timing mode, but no change. It just continued hunting up and down like crazy. I already made the recommended changes in the timing maps to account for my cams and try to help it not hunt, but this was silly. What is more concerning to me is the fact that it wouldn't go into timing mode. I was under the impression that the consult method of getting into timing mode was pretty definite. Any ideas?
Mike, I got that bin, but didn't load it once I drove around the block. I really think that the car is on the right map. The throttle felt great, and felt like it would boost, but I didn't dare, not knowing where my timing is.
Any more thoughts from anyone? I think at this point I know that adequate air is getting through via the iacv, and I'm confident that there's not a fuel delivery problem, and I'm thinking electronics somewhere. Oh, and I still have no error codes from the ECU. Thoughts?
Sounds like the timing is going to be the issue. Will it not go into timing mode the old fashioned way?
