Help with some lt1 tuning tuner pro

[Magoo_oner]

Ok so a few things I’m trying to figure out I swapped a 94 lt1 4l60e into my 78 el Camino motor seems to idle a bit to high around 1200-1300 at idle in drive and about 1500-1600 in park I have no vacuum leaks and tps tests correctly also have a few transmission issues but mostly tied to the vss not being connected to the speedometer but the idle issue not sure if it’s a tuning issue

More questions than answers. If you have access to the datastream see what your IAC (idle air control) counts are. This is assuming you are a DBC (drive by cable) system. IAC count should be about 30. If it is zero that you have a vacuum leak because your computer is trying to command zero amount of flow through your IAC valve.
To confirm that your IAC is actually closed, there is a small orifice by passing your throttle plate that the IAC uses to bypass the throttle plate to control your idle speed. Disconnect your mass airflow sensor and remove the intake duct, then start your car. It might take a little bit but should eventually, within about one minute, start to idle reasonably. Then you can take your finger and plug this orifice and if the idle speed drops to normal the computer is either commanding it open or the idle air control is stuck, broken, wiring is incorrect or the PCM is defective.
DBW (drive-by wire) is a whole different topic.
Another thing that can cause high idle is coolant temperature. Look at your datastream and see what ECT is, -40° indicates an open circuit.

Thank you great info and gives me somewhere to start I’ll try that later today and yes it is DBC I’ll look at my data stream and see what the IAC count is and ECT

On another note I’m still having some trouble with the transmission not shifting properly stays in second and tcc won’t lock up using flash hack I can command the tcc to lock up and put it in 4th gear that way i need to add a resistor to the vss wire from pcm to switched 12v that’s what Dana said over at lt1 wiring back when he did this harness and tune since I’m not running it to a speedo so worst case scenario I have a th400 to throw in but if I go that route do I need to disable all transmission controls in tuner pro or somewhere else

I do not have much experience with the transmission yet, still trying to get mine perfected. I can share my bin file with you but it is for a 603 operating system. I have a 408 cu in LQ9 LS with a 4L60E transmission.

Thanks this solved it your the man iac count was all over the place did what you said plugged it and idle dropped. I have a few extra spare parts I swapped the iac with a used one I have and that fixed the issue. Now I’m wondering if that somehow affected my transmission and it not shifting correctly

Glad I could to help.
