Base Idle Adjustment With Laptop

[jimmytim]

Hi all, got a question.

When adjusting the base idle using a laptop and conzult (free version) via the nissan consult port, do I still need to disconnect the tps sensor?

(My theory is that by using the software, it will turn off the tps signal to the ecu anyway)

(If anyone has done it this way b4, what steps did you take?)

Thanks!

HAY i was going to ask how this actually works to. Does the base idle actually get stored in teh computer afterwards, or only works if teh computer remains connected?

Anyone done this previously.

As far as i'm aware, it is only temporary.

[jimmytim]

Here is what I did:

Hook up the nissan consult with a laptop

Start conzult free, click on "engine", click on "full data monitoring"

Checked everything is looking good

Click on "base idle adjustment" and the engine's idle dropped to around the 5xxrpm mark

Close the "base idle adjustment" window and the idle jumps back up

So I'm assuming when I click on "base idle adjustment" I can use that to adjust my base idle via the screw and look at the laptop for more accurate adjustment. (Am I right?)

like manwhore said its only temporary and wont save the information

(You can't adjust the idle in the conzult free software, it is just a gauge/meter)

But I'm adjusting via the screw?

no, don't look there. That actually adjusts it. just look at the normal digital guage monitor to give you the reading and adjust it till your heart's content

[jimmytim]

arggg....right....

so just use this page:

unplug the brown connector and turn the screw and plug it back in?

[MANWHORE]

yes, the other page is for adjusting it.

did you clean out your aac valve? let me know how you go

[jimmytim]

Yeah, I've cleaned it. Lucky I've got small hands and didn't drop any tools in the process

[MANWHORE]

is that why you're trying to adjust the idle?

what problems were you having before you cleaned it?

after you cleaned it, was the idle wrong?

[jimmytim]

Sometimes when I stop the car at the lights, the idle will go just a little below the line (I'm guessing thats around 500rpm).

And the car rolls backwards on hills (automatic), my old car doesn't do that (I think my old car's idle was ~ 750rpm).

[jimmytim]

Does this look okay to you?

Warm engine @ idle.

[MANWHORE]

yeah, doesn't really show much lookng at a value like that though. it's really how the car reacts when you do stuff.

[jimmytim]

Well, the previous problem is gone and a new one arised (don't you like that )

Stopping at the lights, there is this deepish kind of rumble (vibration) inside and it is irritating. (Changing the gear from D to N/P doesn't help)

As soon as the car is moving it is gone.

Any ideas?

I think besides this current glitch the car is great, so thanks for the offer but no thanks

Have you done the idle adjustment procedure yet?

[jimmytim]

Yes, I even set it back to what it was before but the vibration is still there.

It is there no matter which idle I set it to, whether it is 650 or 750....

[WogsRus]

don't get me wrong, the car is great, it's called the WOG fastor, AKA me. i tend to always stuff something up.
