Idle Learn Procedure

Idle Learn Procedure for 3.1L V6 (auto only?):

Disconnect battery, wait one minute, and reconnect.

Turn off A/C.
Turn off Backlight Heater (rear window defroster).

Do Not Touch The Throttle at Any Point.
Do Not Touch The Steering Wheel at Any Point.

Set parking brake and chuck tires.

Start engine, let settle a bit and put trans in drive.

Let engine run until fan cycles on then off.

Turn off engine.

Wait five minutes.

Start engine and place in gear.

Let idle for five minutes.

Shut off engine.

End of procedure.


If the throttle is touched at anytime during this you have
to start from the 'disconnect battery' again.

If the steering wheel has pressure applied you have
to start from the 'disconnect battery' again.

If the engine stalls at any point just restart and place
back into gear.

Huh? How does setting the minimum IAC position make it run leaner? "noctourious", is that a word?

Sounds real close the the actual procedure. Still haven't explained why it would make it run leaner.

Maybe we should get a pool going on how long it takes you to get banned again, CHC.

Then can't you be a real honest-to-goodness-human and just ban yourself? Must say, if anything you are keeping this post ttt.
