When you find yourself having to argue so elaborately, it's time to step back and apply that complicated little thing called "Ockham's Razor".
Throttle bypass systems are mixture-neutral, they merely route metered air to bypass the throttle and as I've said about five thousand times they have precisely the same effect as opening the throttle slightly to raise idle speed. Period.
Don't teach your grandma to suck eggs is another old saying. |
Challenge accepted. Im in the process of getting an MTX-L to further screw up my AFM Im familiar with the air routing and am aware that AAR increases airflow of METERED air to increase the idle. Im sure your decades of experience will prove me wrong, but young grasshoppper learns from mistakes and experiments. I will report back once my back is healed from months of bending over the back of the rusty bus  |

You can look back over your own argument and see it contradicts the initial assertion.
Even though this isn't a DF system, they work similarly, here the AAR is used by the ECU to maintain AFR.
At least, that's my take on it. _________________ The wise man learns from history, the fool from experience.

Hence if AAR is stuck closed at cold idle the engine runs rich because ECU doesnt know any better otherwise why the blue smoke, crappy idle and smell of unburned fuel? I wish I had the logic map of how the ECU adjusts the FI timing based on AFR/high TII resistance/hall sender while excluding single wire O2. damn magic box. i suppose it can be backward engineered with scopes, power supplies and pots...

Dead wrong. The ECU doesn't know the AAR is stuck but it very well knows the AFR. _________________ The wise man learns from history, the fool from experience.

Hmmmm, now that i think about it youre all right. im still gonna screw around with the wideband to see why my idle is super low (600-700) every time i start the beast regardless whether its hot or cold until i give it gas (air) after which it stabilizes. please kick me in the right direction  |

Idle adjustment procedure in accordance with the Bentley is first idle stop, then CO and throttle bypass (idle screw) together, while the O2sensor is disconnected (edit for correctness)
My experience is only DF so I'm going by analogy... for digifant it's important to clear the memory before setting the idle by unplugging the O2 sensor when the engine is turned off. _________________ The wise man learns from history, the fool from experience.
