E4OD nightmare!!

Well, I’m finally down to just one code presenting itself and giving me fits. I don’t recall the Code #, but it was FIPL out of range. I checked it, set it at 1.2VDC @warm idle, and the best I can get is 3.5VDC @WOT. If I set it for 4.5VDC @WOT, then it’s showing 2.2VDC @ idle.

I am convinced that I’m doing something wrong, but I have NO IDEA what it is. I have read forum after forum until I have them memorized, and it’s instill in my head that they are fickle, but I’m not even in the ballpark. What do I do?

Could the FIPL be bad? I had the same happen to me a few years ago. I was convinced it was me as well, but it wasn't.

Your idle is too high, Mine would only go 1.2 to 3.5... I turned my idle down and I got it to 1.2 to 4.2. You can also adjust it up down and around to get it right.

Also make 100% sure to disconnect the high idle switch.

Good point

Good point about making sure that the idle is within spec.

Yeah something is wrong with my Gauge doesnt read right ever... ( New Tach sensor, checked wiring all is good ) so my Idle was probably set to 1100... or something, now it idles much better, and could set my TPS Properly.
