Idle at 2000rpm

Went to my local Auto elec. His tool would'nt pick up my BeCM, but found my stepper motor sitting at 71 steps with a hot motor running. I think this should be 20 to 30. So I am hoping that an electronic reset will stop the high idle. His tool would not set it. Come on Nanocom!!!!:)
Will let you know how it goes.
BTW Just did over a thousand K's of my trip up the coast and apart from the high idle the whole rig is running like a dream. And I think it likes 95ron juice. They only had 91ethenol blend so I went 95 and got instant improved economy. Down a litre per hundred K's at 110kph, and up and down some pretty big hills.
Roll on!

resetting all adaptive values should do the trick.

Yep, it fixed my 2000rpm idle after I changed the BECM/engine ECU/inst pack set.

umm .. what's an "inst pack set"? :eek: please:angel:

Make sure your throttle cable isnt kinked or wrapped around something. Mine is sensitive to mispositioning. Also, make sure that the butterfly in the throttle moves freely with the cables unattached.

Also, the fuel pressure is easy to test (on THOR) with a dispopsable $3 tyre air pressure tester (palm sized), it has the correct "chuck" (female schraider value) fitting off the shelf. It will at least let you know if your fuel pressure is in the ballpark. Mine read ~50psi which seemed to be pretty close to the mark.

I bought a car with a suspected BECM fault so I swapped the BECM, engine ECU & instrument pack out of another car to fit to the new one.
Changing all 3 components together solves the problem of BECM / engine ECU communication mis-match & also keeps the BECM / instrument pack km in sync.

Up to 3000k's on our coast trip. Still no dramas from having the IACV unplugged. Just got to watch putting it in reverse at 1000rpm. Still getting great economy and running smooth. Really looking forward to not having to take my car to people who are "willing to have a go, but can't promise anything". I know they mean well, but.....
Good news is we are moving to Tweed soon and it looks like the Rangey mechs are not so thin on the ground.
Anyhoo :D
