Vacuum activated TB butterfly? (idle problems)
My engine build is a clean one, bunch of stuff was removed, most solenoids, most vacuum lines....
There are a few things I wish weren't remove like coolant to the TB, and also on the TB there is like a butterfly that's operated by vacuum, vacuum line to it is removed.
I'm guessing the butterfly is there to help with cold starts and or help with idle??
Reason I ask is because I have a lumpy idle and can't figure out why. I mean as much oem stuff that was removed + a single turbo conversion + huge injectors, I'm not surprised I get a horrible and high idle but I'm still hoping to get it some what stable around 1100-1400rpm.
What's a normal RPM idle on a such a build FD? Is it unreasonable to expect it to idle at say 1100RPM with such mods and removal of OEM stuff?
If I set it to above 1400rpm its not bad, but if I go lower it starts surging down to as low as almost shutting off the engine.
P.S. wow my Idle IG-Control was OFF on the PowerFC, I'll report back if this help any.

Question, if I do the "data init" on my power fc, that won't delete all my fuel maps right? It will only delete the other setting which are easily set?
