been trying to solve this dilemma.

at idle the revs seem to fluctuate up and down around 200 - 300 rpm. its really annoying and i know it cant be good.

so far i have tried resetting the ecu and cleaner the afm.

will i need a tune or is there some thing else i should try?

cheers

to test it, maybe do the spring tension up really tight, so that it can't open and see if the idle changes, otherwise check all other hose clamps etc are tight on any plumbing/piping that is after the air flow meter. make sure none are split either.

Make sure the bolt holding the ECU wires into the ECU is tightened securely. I had this problem and the bolt was loose. Incase you dont know, the ECU is found to the left of the passangers feet, under the plastic.

Also, check the AAC Valve.

Man I also have an idling problem - for 1.5 yrs still haven't solved it. Ive been through all the basics, these might help you, hasn't helped me .. like

Check all electrical contacts. squirt wd40 on all electrical contacts..

Could be the fuel presure regulator - do a swap .

clean aac valve. Swap with friend

clean, resolder afm

check for leaks - squirt carby clean on the hoses if the idle drops bingo. Soapy water should also do the trick but you will see bubbles instead.

make sure all sensors are working to spec. Do a search sould find what the sensors should read .

o2 sensors could be faulty.

BOV. I put a open atmo BOV and really screw my idle.. Took it off..

clean the injectors.. If you can take then out and get it ultrasonic cleaned.

check for fault codes

good luck

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
