    Default Idle issue-67 Nova

    I have a 67 Nova that has a 01 vette engine transplanted in it. I can't seem to make it idle. I flashed OS 12584929 and made mods to VATS, ECT, and removed the rear O2 references. It only starts with by applying throttle of 10% or more. With throttle applied it runs at 1000-1200rpm, spark 30 degrees, trim -3% to 0%, injector duty cycle of 3 to 4%. If the idle falls below about 950 then it dies. I even set the idle parameters at 1000rpm and it won't idle. It must have something to do with the vette throttle system. Any advice...

    there are a lot of idle tuning threads to be found with a quick search.

    You'll want to dial in the RAF (search for B4307 or RAFIG), AutoVE the idle range, and use the bi-directional controls (bidi) to determine the optimal spark and AFR for your idle.

    Fly by wire or Cable?
    ECT or ETC changes??
    Modded engine or stock??

    Pics??? Sounds like a great transplant to me.

    Thanks for the advice,
    It was b4307 causing the problem. I thought that I had modified it when I started the tune process based on the many mods on the build. Just had to go back to the basics.
