I feel like I'm just going in circles with my Microsquirt / Tunerstudio setup. Do we have anyone that knows the ins and outs of this? Trying to get idle setup correctly.

Ive got my spark and fuel table flattened out in the idle areas while I try to work this out, and will smooth it once I'm certain it's idling properly.

Here is my latest log, and tune.

Car is an 87GT, V3 @ 10psi, AFR185's, Systemax 2, E cam, 4r70w, 42lb Bosch Green Giants

Lets start with the basics before i dive into the software, are you trying to get the car to idle in warm up mode or Closed loop?
what is your AFR while idling?
how much timing are you running while idling?

lets start with these and see what we come up with. Thats a very common combination i have tuned many times

I have the IAC valve disabled for now. AFR is in the 13.8 range, base idle is at 10, and my timing table for idle is at 18.

800 is about as low as that cam will like to idle, I suggest trying this for now....

try this setting and report back, what this will do is create a constant feedback loop for the timing to control the idle speed.

now if you are using warmup mode, you will need to change the 'idle advance on' setting to rpm, then setup the table as i have it below.

yes i can see the rpmdot come down. Now that is a tool you have to get the idle to come in line.

the idle looks fairly stable for the E303, now i suggest you turn on CL idle. these settings are difficult to pin down right off the bat so be patient. dont forget to setup the cl idle rpm curve. Use the basic function and set the sensitivity slider to 1200
you will also need to change the above idle correction advance to the way i had it set in the first two pictures.

do all of this and report back with a datalog,
 
Ok the curve is high set it for 1200 far left and 900 far right and smooth inbetween.

something is wrong with the adaptive idle settings or the table it was adding a constant 10* timing to the curve. 28* total will make it idle high
 
no i am looking at the datalog, the software already takes the 10* from the distributor into account.

notice in the datalog i have
SPK: spark advance = this is the total timing the engine is seeing with all the timing trim tables taken into account
SPK: idle advance = the current idle advance adder this can be seen as a positive or negative number

dont mind the tune file loaded in on the right it is from a car i am tuning with MAF
