I wanted to do itbs with SDS which also uses a map, but SDS talked me out of it. There is too much leakage past the butterflys, so idle is unstable. IAC is for hot vs cold idle, not erratic idle, right?
How does Clewwet do it, I wonder.
Well, sort-of. This is from the Holley manual:
The IAC is located in the throttle body of the TBI and MPFI. The valve consists of a stepper motor that adjusts the position of its pintle to vary the bypass air during idle and off idle conditions. During the closed throttle condition (idle), the ECU constantly compares actual engine speed with the programmed desired engine speeds. Discrepancy between these two values result in activation of the stepper motor increasing or decreasing the bypass air around the throttle plates until desired engine speed is achieved.
This operation is similar to a controlled vacuum leakAt idle, the throttle plates are always patially open so leakage doesn't really come into play. Erratic idle isn't the issue I'm trying to address.
I'll have to check clewwet's site to see what they do.
