    Timing jumps from 22-26 @ idle

    Back and forth from 22-26 when at idle, instantly, it will not stay at what I have it set at in my tune, how do I fix this or is it normal due to my cam? Mods below and tune attached. I do not have a good scan, I am going to do one tonight and will have it up tomorrow afternoon. Thanks.

    Also on a side note what should my PE Enable be set at? I think its kinda low.

    It's required to maintain a stable idle I believe. Mine does the same thing. If I were to set a steady state spark advance the idle starts to fluctuate a lot. I'd love to be able to make it more stable but I don't think it's possible. If someone knows otherwise I'd be interested to hear about it.

    That is the idle adaptive spark,once the follower and throttle cracker have been decayed,once you are under the cracker disable threshold,adaptive idle is enabled.
    You have a 4 degree swing,so you do not really have to much.If it idles good with good manners,then you are good.

    I'm supprised it can control idle with such little of a swing.

    It actually idles pretty good but I may take out another deg or two to give it a tad more lope.

    Edit, it does idle good on a cold start up now that I added some to the VE table (was surging bad on cold start up) around the idle but once I give it gas it surges until it warms up all the way. I found out my tuner tuned the car SD so I am sure it could use more tweaking, my wideband will be here today so I plan to mess with it and add turn the MAF back on.

    I like the way my C5 drives with no MAF once VE is set.

    I may like it too once I get it the way I want but I still like the fact that the MAF will account for any temp/DA changes.
