    What Tables to Adjust Airflow at Idle?

    What tables would I go after to increase the base airflow at idle. I'm just starting to get the fuel trims straightened out, but every time I come to a stop while driving to log trims, the idle drops down too low and it dies. I think the TB airflow at idle is to blame because of the increased displacement (from 5.7L to 6.4L).

    It will sit there and idle, both in gear and in P/N once the idle stabilizes, but if you rev the engine above, say, 2500 rpm, it will die before the idle can catch it when it drops back to idle. If I let it down slowly with the throttle, it will idle nicely. Fuel trims are +/- 2% in these cells, so it's close. I just need to get this thing to idle so I can log fuel trims without it dying at every stop.

    Thanks!

    You need to review the post by 06300CSRT8 on PID controlled idle.

    Log your TB Voltage and increase Throttle Body Airflow according. Make sure your fuel trims are on check before you do any changes as fuel trims on the dodges do play a big part at idle.

    Thanks guys! I had not seen 06300CSRT8's write up. That's pretty much what I was looking for!

    I do have the fuel trims at/near idle pretty much spot-on now. I think I'm having trouble with the increased displacement and flow at idle like Mep_q8 mentioned. I will try logging the TB Voltage. that's a great idea!
