detjoe Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Engine up to temp.Block wheels Start and put in D for 5 minutes Put in Park for 5 minutes Shut off. That straight from my Helms Manual will this speed up my truck learning the new idle speeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelleyperformance Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 yes thats a good method, but if the pcm isnt in relearn then it wont relearn. disconnect the battery for a few minutes and then do that procedure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quik Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 what is the truck doing that you have to have it relearn? should only take a few minutes at the first startup and after that your fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 should only take a few minutes at the first startup and after that your fine Agree,...once you hit your Adaptive learn temperature you should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detjoe Posted June 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 What is the temp when it starts to learn?? operating temp? After my tune, I drove it on the highway not on the streets so it still does not want to idle in R or D, well it still stalls, not as bad as before the tune, but it is still stalling. I want do my part in letting it adjust itself before I ask my tuner to bump it up some more or what ever magic you do inside those PCM's. What would you suggest as a relearn procedure 1. unhook battery, how long?? 2. reconnect 3. As stated above: Engine up to temp. Block wheels Start and put in D for 5 minutes Put in Park for 5 minutes Shut off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holty Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 ^ that should work fine Joe, unhook it for about 30min's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelleyperformance Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 its stalling? sounds like your idle airflow might be off, or maybe too low of idle for your cam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detjoe Posted June 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Well I just tried the idle learn and it was not having it. now I will get out the wrench and disconnect the battery and try it again later. Aside from this small issue the truck pulls real hard, it is a beast when you get the down shift that puts the rpm's in the 4k range...screaming!

zippy Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 With the bigger cams in an ETC truck, the idle learn takes longer. After you've driven it around in the city a couple of days it will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detjoe Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 thats so true. the ETC has a lot of learning to do. It has gotten better everyday, still funky sometimes...but I was merging today and it down shifted @ about 20mph....the RPM's jumped and my truck was flying! I need to get some track times...

12'SROCK Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 yes track times will be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
