Edge Idle Adjustment

When making custom adjustments on the Edge tuning, will adjusting the idle adjust at what RPM it idles at IN GEAR? In other words, if you put it in neutral I know it adjusts the idle there, how about the idle in gear? After cleaning my throttle body I'm wondering if I tweaked the TPS because now there is a lot of pressure against my brake pedal when braking, the truck wants to GO. Why does the idle speed only go to +300 iirc?

Josiah, I see you decided to clean the TB, major improvement right? My truck had the same feeling there for awhile today but it starts dying down and idling normal later. Im guessing maybe its the Carbcleaner getting sucked into the IP? It should go away soon. And the edges idle settings is only for when not in gear

real glad to hear that, it's very noticeable, I feel like I'm walking a huge bitch of a dog, my break pedal being the leash.

Yeah I know what you mean, it could also be that we just aren't used to our trucks driving like this, I remember I'd have to open her up to get her moving, but now she just wants to take off on her own

Did you take it out and clean it or use some fuel mix?

Without the A/C running my truck had a rough idle while in gear. It persisted even after having the PCM flashed. I made adjustments to my idle setting with the Edge. Rough idle is now gone. Adjusting the idle with the edge does make a difference while the truck is in gear.

The adjustable increments on the edge programmer refer to RPM's over/under the truck's current PCM setting. i.e. if the current PCM's idle is set at 600 RPMs and you input +125 on the edge, your new idle is 725 RPMs.

exactly
same here, mine is idling right at the 800 to 850 while in gear.

wow... way to revive an ancient thread

do you have an Edge Tuner? If you do, the manual explains how to adjust the idle.

You have to have tuner hardware such as an Edge, Gryphon or SCT.
