Default Target Idle Rpm Vs. Coolant temp (In P/N)

In Deg C from -40 to 32 the RPM is set at 900 after that it gets wierd.

44c / 50 Target Idle Rpm

56c / 37.5 Target Idle Rpm

68c / 50 Target Idle Rpm

80c / 25 Target Idle Rpm

92c / 12.5 Target Idle Rpm

104c / 0 Target Idle Rpm

116c / 37.5 Target Idle Rpm

Is there a reason why the tune would set the Target Idle Rpm like this? Would it help if I made them all 900?

Are you using TunerPro? I had problems with screwy idle values on a DA2 bin that looked like yours. I went to CATS instead.

I'm using Tunercats. Can you describe the problems? I'm having idle issues so I'm trying to track it down.

When I say I had screwy values, I mean my bin in TunerPro showed the exact same values your bin showed, for the P/N table. Obviously any rpm settings that low don't make sense. When I opened the same bin with CATS, the values in the same table were completely different, and they were all ok.

I forget what year computer you're using (and it would be nice if you'd include that kind of info in your threads) ... is this a $EE PCM? If so, it sounds like a $EE/$EEb mixup.

I have that info in my sig but sigs here dont show up here automaticly. It's a 93. I think the problems is Im using da3 def to view da2 files.

I recall I couldn't find a DA2 xdf file for TunerPro and had to use a DA3 instead, and I got the exact same values as you in that table.

You are looking at the HEX numbers. The ecm used Hexidecimal and a multiplyer to get to the idle speed. If you use TUNERCAT it does the math for you so you can read the numbers after the conversion.
If you want to be able to do the conversion your self,
You can use the calculator in windows, go to view, scientific and click on "HEX" put in 50, click on "DECIMIAL" this changes the valuel from 50Hex to 80 Decimal, now multiply the number times 12.5 = 1000.
All the hex values are multiplied times 12.5 in the idle table to arrive at your desired idle speed.

I just went back and re-read your post. What I said below works for converting the hex to something readable, but you are using the wrong mask. Try loading the other masks until the numbers make sense.
Sorry.
