04 RX8 Idle????

Hey gang....

Sorry in advance if this has been talked about already... I searched and was not able to come up with a solid answer.

I was wondering if there was anyting else you are supposed to change in Access Race Tuner program to adjust the Idle RPM...

I changed "ECT Based -A" and "ECT Based -B" up to 1000 at the warmest coolent temp available... but it does not appear to change anything with regards to Idle speed. I put it up this high to see if ot changed... I was looking to get it to Idle between 850 - 900 if possible.

Sometimes when AC clicks in and out.. it will sputter / get rough for a couple seconds... I think if the car were to Idle a little higher... it would be perfectly smooth through those transitions.

Most of the time the car idles great.

Any input would be great...

Thanks.

When was the last time the spark plugs were changed? Mine was getting rough in the same way, new plugs cured it.

I dunno.....

I have had the car 4 months... got it from a Mazda Dealership who said they did the "once over" on it... but who knows really what that means.

May get a set of plugs... as it will need them eventually.

POP them out and see what they look like. :-)

Thanks for the advice.

Good idea, you always want to assure you are starting fresh with a proper tune up. I would not trust that the dealer would have spent to do the plugs, coils, etc.
