im planning on using this piece to get my idle back together. hopefully i can save up enough money for that. we shall see. who knows.
the map im using is a base map. the thing is, the old e6x map worked really well and i could start the car hot or cold, but this ecu has a bit of things different so i need to get it to the point where i can ******* feel comfortable driving it on the street.
oh i know this, dont you worry. i dont feel its a priority at this point in time. plus, id rather tap into where the ecu sees the tach signal. i mean, the harness connector is right there anyways. o well. well see how that goes.

^ You're right... I kept thinking you had the sprint RE in there, not the sport2000... And I have that piece.
It worked PERFECT until recently one day it crapped out on me! I don't know if the valve failed, or the computer failed, but I finally have given up on an idle control valve. It was great while it lasted. 1600RPM idle for cold starts (first 17 seconds), then would drop and hold 1300RPM until the coolant temps hit 140. 1000RPM idle fully warmed up no matter the weather or any loads on the engine.
So now it's back to a little footwork in the regular weather. However the thermowax is still in place, so in the real cold weather my car is OK. I drove it all winter it gave me no issues.
PS
I can sell it to you

"reticulating splines" EDIT: see my sig!
I love it.
You're lucky with the filters... The old haltechs are noisy as ****. I have mine at 4 and it's till pisses me off.
More fuel to primer if you're having trouble starting.
Also less timing on the cranking map. Some say add a ton, I found that doesn't work...
I don't know if the later haltechs do this, but on my old one, I add a **** load of fuel on the 0RPM map and it helps on start up.
Also, what is your staging set at? On mine, when I moved it to a lower bar, it helped a lot.
Finally, when you hear that kick back on cranking... touch the gas pedal. You may get it to turn over. It's the sound it makes when it's almost there.

i took out some fuel in some of he maps, added fuel, yet to no avail would the car start when hot. i have to wait for it to get cold.

damn son, thanks a ton. i got it started again in the cold. turns out, the map was crazy lean in the primer map through and through. i wish base map builders would at least put it in the ball park, no some 80 MS off the mark. cheepers. i just referenced my old haltech map and was like... HOLY *****!
JOLLY GOOD SHOW!!!, now i can start it.

You have a newer/much more advanced computer than my old dinosaur and have better features, so mine won't look anything like yours. I think this is what you need to read:
http://files.haltech.com/downloads/p..._throttle.html
Just touch the gas pedal quick; you don't have to stomp it. What happens? Hesitation or bog? Better yet it revs up smooth? If it hesitates, add some fuel. If it bogs, take some out.

My car has it, so I use it. I bought it 5 years ago (my 23 year old dumb self).
With a PCI to serial adapter, shitty windows vista laptop I never use, and dosbox, I got the old dinosaur working on more modern tech with no issues.
I'm can't justify spending $1,800 on a new ECU for my 1987 Mazda

Eh... I'd love to play with a more modern ECU, but I'm not planning on keeping the car forever.
I paid 4300 for the car 5 years ago which is was about 1000 too much.
Then I blew it up after only 4 months and learned it all the hard way since, and spent plenty.
I still need to send my S4 turbo out to BNR, then I'll need an exhaust, and water injection.
And then... AND THEN!!!!
Next car I'm looking for is an M3
