27770, EGT reading at idle really high... whats up? Posted by Dualgen2, Jul-29-02 12:39 PM Well my EGT's once I have car warmed up are around 10,000at idle which is really high compared to my friends supercharged MX-3 which is at 8000 and all my other friends turbo and sueprcharged cars. Any reasons my EGT's are so high at idle? They never get near 16 when I hit it cause its running rich. TIA | |

27775, RE: EGT reading at idle really high... whats up? Posted by Kirby, Jul-30-02 01:22 AM Yeah dave mess with the idle setting on the Afc. Do you have a fuel pressure guage? You should be around 47-50 psi of fuel at idle. I don't have an afc nor have I used one but I would richen it out at idle. | |

27776, RE: EGT reading at idle really high... whats up? Posted by Dualgen2, Jul-30-02 02:31 AM I dont have a fuel pressure gauge. My fuel curve seems normal and goes down slowly each 1000rpm's. Pretty sure at idle Im at 13% lean on AFC and I tuned car to be around 1% richer as my rpm's go up. Dont see how its possible for me to be soooo lean at idle but so rich at higher rpms. Blah | |
