ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 13d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 26/03/07 10:41 AM Share Posted 26/03/07 10:41 AM a Unichip can be "seen" where the Edit is invisable, so I think you have less chance of being caught with Edit, it is also a much better product.If you are running massive injectors on minimum duty cycle, then edit would be a good choice as the ECU can be set to raise the idle.

I have already asked what happens if I go to an edit (as in saying I wont be getting any extra power, just a better tune) and they said Ill lose all drive-line warranty.Do the T's have an idle solenoid - I thought it was controlled electronically?

I would also check the fuel pressure. Edited 26/03/07 11:21 AM by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it cant hurt to chuck a new one in and see how it goes.←It is the adjustment height of the screw on the throttle body which dictates the electronic resistance inside the sensor.This in turn tells the ecu to idle.If this moves then it needs to be reset My AU ..I spent seven hours getting it right after a cam and head install I did.Its tedious. Changing the sensor will see the problem reappear. Get this right first then move on to more trouble shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Venom Member 48 Member For: 19y 5m 29d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 27/03/07 02:48 AM Share Posted 27/03/07 02:48 AM Just wondering do you have to take off the throttle body to clean it?? Or can you just spray the cleaning stuff inside it. Will it damage anything if I spray it where it is? Coz the idle on mine sux as well and every few days when sitting at lights it just stalls. Usually in the morning after it has warmed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTASTRPHE Member 82 Member For: 18y 10m 30d Location: Perthoslavakia Posted 27/03/07 05:23 AM Author Share Posted 27/03/07 05:23 AM throttle body is pretty easy to get off - just undo the hose clamps to remove any connected pipework. Use an allen key to remove the four bolts holding the throt body in place and undo the two electrical connectors either side.Give it a good clean with carby cleaner or similar.I had the TPS and throttle body replaced on mine about 9 months ago.. surely it hasnt failed already?
