Thanks Steveo,
I understand the logging procedure now. The calibration shown in my log was automatically downloaded by eehack from my ECM, correct? My car is actually a 95. I assume the ECM must have come from a 94, but the cal is for a 3.07 axle A4 also, so the calibration must be close, I'm guessing. I assume that the only way to get the 'correct' calibration (16212471, from fbodytech), would be to flash the ECM. Is this necessary?
With respect to my high idle issue, I don't think my throttle plates or cable are sticking open, as I can confirm that the throttle arm is against the adjustment screw while the idle is high. Is it possible that the PO has turned the throttle stop in slightly so the blades cannot close enough? I had the throttle body out during my engine work, and I cleaned it out quite well, especially the throttle plates/bores, and IAC passages/pintle. I was reluctant to back off the stop screw based on my understanding of how it all works, but if my throttle is physically against the stop, and my TPS shows 9%, should I try backing it off slightly? Your thoughts?
Edit: As I look more at my initial log session, I'm starting to think that my TPS is bad. If you look between 232 and 236, the TPS drops off to zero, with a very erratic pattern before and after. Also, after 300 sec, my speed slows down to a stop (braking), but the TPS stays constant at around 9% or 10%. I know my foot was off the gas pedal at that point. For the most part, the TPS never gets down much below 9% after I start driving, even though I know I'm off the gas a lot...
Regards,
John
