Technical 1.0 ie Tick Over speed

[SuperUno]

Hi,
Just fitted an electrical cut-off swtich (needed for stage rallying), and this has meant that the ECU has been re-set, but now since re-starting the tick-over speed has now dropped a little.
I would like to increase this speed a bit, i remember reading on here ages ago how to do it.

Anyone got any ideas ??? Wish it was a carb now, there easy to adjust

Anyone get any ideas then ????

Doesn't the throttle body have a throttle stop screw (where the accelerator cable connects) on it? I would have thought it would have some kind of arrangement like that, but I'm still using a carburetor so can't say for sure

Sorry for the delay Matt.

IIR there is no adjuster for the SPI idol as such (ah yer as on Haynes red page 13.75 LOL).

However, when the battery has been disconnected for over about 30 mins, there is a way of giving the ECU some good data to work from .

As outlined by Morty Mort some time ago to reset the ECU, disconnect the battery for at least 30 mins... Re connect the battery, start and Idol till the fan kicks in. Switch off engine and the ECU is fully reset.

I didn’t have the tachometer plumed in at the time, so I can’t say how many revs I got at idol after the full rest.

Hope this helps. I’ve done it once, and I was wheel spinning everywhere for a bit . The ECU soon learns how to use fuel more efficiently , but it could make all the difference for you .

Regards All,

if you do reset the ECU take it really really easy, as easy as you can get, that way so i have been told you will get the power when you demand it
