Warren is a very smart and well informed mechanic. However, the admonition to go get the CMA is getting tiring. (to use Warren's bold type to make a point...)
The CMA doesn't tell you anything about what to do if a car is not STOCK.
And, as sensitive as the MFI is supposed to be with regard to having the valves adjusted exactly right and the ignition spot on, one would figure that if the exhaust has been changed, it would have some kind of DRASTIC effect.
Now, I don't belittle the CMA and I don't belittle Warren. That would be foolish. I have learned from the CMA and I have worked the procedure.
(more bold
)
I have the same problem as jimgolf1. I have never had a stock muffler either. It took me the better part of 3 days to find 950 RPM idle. So, chasing the problem jim has, I make a part-load adjustment and I'm back above 1300 at idle. That was 2 clicks richer.
Jim, we can't tune out the pops at idle if the switches aren't closing, can we? What we need is some honest help. But, contrary to what your mileage is telling you, I think you need to go richer on the part load. Only a tester will tell you if that's correct. Mine is on the way.
Kurt, thanks for that suggestion. That will make my idle go back down while I search for the sweet spot in the mid range.
