Ah, that sounds like a standalone-only capability. I have the stock ECU with an RTek1.8 and a SAFC so I have no way to change that threshold number. It's odd that with all the searching I did during my research on the flywheel that I never saw a requirement to have a standalone.

If your theory is correct, then raising the idle should have no effect. The injectors are off, they come back on at 1400 but the rpms drop off too fast and the engine dies. The idle value wouldnt come into effect yet. If the 1400 number was based on the idle speed, then raising the idle would raise that 1400 threshold.

I wonder if changing the low throttle point on the SAFC to zero and richening up the low rpm map would get enough fuel in those few squirts it gets from 1400 to zero would be enough to fix it...

We tried the graphite exhaust gaskets and unfortunately the one between the exhaust manifold and turbo blew out last week. So gotta get those replaced before I can play with this again.

And the kid takes the car back to school on Friday. Gonna be one of those weeks!
