Hi
First of all I have no CD player or radio in the car.
The electrics the im assuming play with the idle are probably the EWP, fan, headlights and stepping on the brakes (brake lights or vacuum to the booster???)
Its an irritating problem i have had since I got an EWP and electric fan some years ago, sometimes the car will stall becuase its idling so low.
could it be the 20v alternator?
... I have an idea that I want to try and its to try and use the electrical idle up signal from the 12 pin on the ECU. I want to get a signal to the ecu when the fan or headlight or brakes are applied to maintain a steady idle
Im guessing I can maybe use the aircon idle up as well as that increases idle speed.
What sort of signal do i send to the ecu, voltage from a relay???
I dont want to burn out my ecu so I want be careful.
I welcome any other suggestions that may help! :2thumbs:
