• IAC NOTES:
1) Adjust the idle speed screw on throttle body, to achieve an IAC Position of about 5% at hot idle.
Remember to perform another TPS Autoset, whenever you adjust the idle speed screw on the throttle body.
In the Idle ICF, the "Target Idle Speed (RPM)" must be programmed to the desired RPM speed at hot idle.
Ensure the proper type of Advanced Idle Control is selected in Idle Settings. "Slow" may provide the best idle quality.
FYI: Some throttle bodies require a 10% IAC Position at hot idle, to compensate for increased airflow due to further thermal expansion.
2) Opening the throttle blades (idle speed screw "in"), decreases the IAC Position at hot idle.
Closing the throttle blades (idle speed screw "out"), increases the IAC Position at hot idle.
If the idle speed screw is unscrewed too far, the engine is inhaling air from an additional source - vacuum leak.
Blocking off the entire throttle body amplifies the vacuum leak, and it usually makes a detectable hissing sound.
Terminator TBI users may need to also adjust the secondary shaft screw (LINK), so the throttle blades are equally open.
The Commander 950 EFI system uses IAC Position Counts, not IAC Position %, so don't try copying the Commander 950 IAC values.
IAC motors have an IAC position range of either 0-255 counts or 0%-100% IAC Position (each 1% is the equivalent of 2.55 counts).
3) Ensure the IAC Hold Position isn't set too high. At particularly low TPS Positions, this can induce more air (> 1% TPS) than some engines need.
Ensure the TPS Position always returns to 0% at hot idle. If not, it activates the IAC Hold Position and raises the idle speed, causing issues.
You may have to slightly back-off the idle speed screw (after a TPS Autoset), so the TPS Position always returns to 0% (V3 improved this).
Ensure your throttle linkage moves/returns freely (hot & cold), and usually a stronger throttle return spring is all that's necessary to rectify this.
Over-advanced ignition timing, rich AFR and/or primary throttle blades open too far at idle (idle speed screw) can hinder the return to idle RPM.
Also, if the IAC Hold Position is set too high, or the RPM Above Idle To Start Ramp is set too low, the engine RPM will hang & not return to idle:

4) You can test the IAC motor function by changing the IAC Parked Position % (cycle the ignition key off/on
after each change), turn key-on/engine-off, unplug the wire connector, remove it from the throttle body,
and verify the pintle position (or just look down the IAC passage in throttle body). Try this at 0% & 100%.

5) If blocking off the IAC air inlet port results in improved idle/deceleration operation, then problem is IAC related.
If the ECU is commanding 100% IAC Position, it's because the IAC valve isn't increasing the engine speed.
Ensure the fuel injectors or spark plug wires (or any other high voltage wiring) aren't too close to the IAC motor/wiring.
The IAC motor is easily susceptible to electrical interference, and it'll cause strange occurrences and become inoperable.
To eliminate the IAC valve as a problem, temporarily block off the IAC air inlet port with a strong piece of tape.
6) * Initial Baseline Idle Speed Screw Setting *
Sometimes the throttle blades are so far off adjustment, turning the idle speed screw triggers the IAC Hold Position.
If this happens, the throttle blades will require a baseline setting without the IAC valve altering this adjustment.
This must be accomplished with the engine at hot idle. Be careful of dangerous fan and belt driven components.
With the air filter previously removed, block off the IAC air inlet port with your finger or a strong piece of tape.
While temporarily ignoring the IAC Position, adjust the idle speed screw to the Target Idle Speed RPM (in Idle ICF).
Turn engine off (remove tape). With the key-on/engine-off, perform a TPS Autoset. Cycle key off & restart engine.
Now only a minute adjustment will be required to achieve an IAC Position of about 5%. Perform a final TPS Autoset.
7) Sniper EFI Idle Setting/Throttle Blade Setting (Holley Sniper EFI Quick Start Manual):
Once the engine is up to operating temperature, the idle speed can be set to what was configured in the Wizard.
To do this, open up the Initial Startup gauge screen that was used in section 17.0. With the vehicle in neutral,
adjust the idle screw until the IAC Position reads between 2 & 10%. While adjusting the idle speed screw, if the
TPS Position begins to read higher than 0%, cycling the ignition switch will recalibrate the TPS back to zero.
NOTE: Do not attempt to set the Target Idle Speed and IAC Position until the engine is above 160°F!

https://forums.holley.com/showthread...-Idle-Solution! (Sniper EFI High Idle Thread)
8) The idle speed screw/IAC Position relationship should be done in neutral and at hot idle. Also ensure this isn't tuning related.
On the Base Fuel Table, the "in gear" idle area is just above the "neutral" idle area. The "neutral" idle area may be tuned, but
the "in gear" idle area may not be. Look at where the live cursor moves to, when you shift the transmission into gear. Is this
"in gear" idle area, a little more rich (lbs/hr), than the "neutral" idle area? You'll have to look at the Learn Table too, since
they function as one (LINK). Also, ensure the Target A/F Ratio Table and Base Timing Table are flat in these two idle areas.
9) Typical IAC Control/Ramp Down Parameter Settings
Advanced Idle Control: ......................... Slow (Usually the best control.) Sniper EFI users select "Sniper TBI".
IAC Type: .......................................... Stepper (4-wire), PWM (2-wire)
IAC Hold Position: ................................ 10%-30% (Manual transmissions require the higher percentage.)
Ramp Decay Time: ............................... 1.0-3.0 sec (Usually 2.0 sec.)
RPM Above Idle To Start Ramp: .............. 1000 RPM (Or higher.)
RPM Above Idle To Re-enable Idle Control: 50-200 RPM (This setting can be finicky.)
Startup IAC Position - Hold & Decay Time: 1.0-1.5 seconds (Less is typically better than more.)
Not IAC, but Idle Spark control usually works well at: 30-40 P Term & 50-60 D Term.

10) With a 2-wire Ford PWM IAC motor, you don't use any of the four existing IAC wires/connector.
In the software (Idle ICF), select "PWM" as the IAC Type.
In the Inputs/Outputs screen (Idle ICF), select "PWM+" as the Output Type.
Then "Pin Map" this new output to an available pin/connector. (See "View Outputs".)
Now you'll only need to run one wire to the IAC, and simply ground the other wire.
(If "PWM−" is chosen, then two wires need to be run to the IAC; keyed 12V & ECU PWM− output.)

11) If your throttle body accepts a Ford IAC motor, you may want to use it.
The Ford IAC is supposedly faster, greater airflow and more expensive (for a reason).
FYI: A radical camshaft could cause an inoperative Ford IAC valve due to a severe lack of engine vacuum (LINK).

13) Terminator & HP EFI users (Ford engines), may still want to use the preexisting 4-wire IAC harness (Chrysler/GM IAC motors).
This is because these ECUs only have 4 Inputs & 4 Outputs, so some users can't afford to lose one for a Ford PWM 2-wire IAC motor.
In this case, it makes more sense to use the Chrysler/GM IAC motor that the harness is already wired for.
Also, some aftermarket throttle bodies are machined for use with a Chrysler/GM type IAC motor.
14) Electrically, the Holley ECU can drive two GM/Chrysler stepper type IAC motors.
There's no additional channel/output involved. Simply splice each wire to the second IAC motor.

19) PID Definitions:
P Term – (Proportional) The speed/gain of the system when there's a large deviation in the
target idle speed. Raising this value increases the speed at which the IAC moves in order to
remove target idle speed error. If this value is too high for a specific application, the IAC Position
will oscillate (be out of control) and cause the engine speed to surge up & down. If the value is
too low for a specific application, the IAC will be slow to react to quick changes in idle speed
deviation. However, it's much better for this Term to be conservatively slow, rather than too fast.
The Proportional Term makes a change based on how far the engine is from the setpoint. For
example, if the desired idle is 750, the IAC would move more if the actual engine speed was 600
than if it was 700. The size of the Proportional Term determines how far the IAC moves.
I Term – (Integral) The speed of the system when the engine speed is near the target idle
speed. Raising this value increases the speed at which the IAC moves when the engine speed is
close to target idle speed. If this value is too high for a specific application, there may be "too
much IAC activity" around the target idle speed. If the value is too low for a specific application,
the IAC will be slow to react to changes near target idle speed. However, it's much better for
this Term to be conservatively slow, rather than too fast. The Integral Term acts to eliminate the
steady state error. The Integral Term job is to get the engine to idle at exactly 750 RPM (or
whatever the Target Idle Speed RPM is) and not at 740 or 760 RPM, for example.
D Term – (Derivative) Higher Derivative terms reduce the tendency of idle speed overshoot.
Smaller Derivative terms slow down the IAC movement as target idle speed is approached. The
Derivative Term looks at where the engine is going and where it will be in a half of a second. It
doesn’t look at where the engine is right now. For example, if the Target Idle Speed RPM is 750
and the engine speed is 700, but it's rapidly approaching 750, the Derivative Term will try to
close the IAC to slow the idle down and keep it from "overshooting" the Target Idle Speed RPM.

18) The predefined Advanced Idle Control parameter values are listed in the Help Contents (Tuning/Idle Settings, click "F1").
However, the Slow, Medium & Fast selections aren't listed, so I posted those PID & Blanking values first.
SLOW - IAC Idle Control:
Main P = 6 ..... IAC Blanking Window = 30 ....... Low Side P = 7
Main I = 8 ...... D Blanking Window = 40 ......... Low Side I = 11
Main D = 45 ... Low Side Enabling RPM = 100 ... Low Side D = 60
MEDIUM - IAC Idle Control:
Main P = 18 ... IAC Blanking Window = 40 ....... Low Side P = 30
Main I = 32 .... D Blanking Window = 40 .......... Low Side I = 50
Main D = 60 ... Low Side Enabling RPM = 100 ... Low Side D = 60
FAST - IAC Idle Control:
Main P = 36 ... IAC Blanking Window = 40 ....... Low Side P = 50
Main I = 64 .... D Blanking Window = 40 .......... Low Side I = 89
Main D = 60 ... Low Side Enabling RPM = 100 ... Low Side D = 80
Holley 4BBL TBI - IAC Idle Control:
Main P = 18 .... IAC Blanking Window = 40 ....... Low Side P = 30

19) PID Definitions:
P Term – (Proportional) The speed/gain of the system when there's a large deviation in the
target idle speed. Raising this value increases the speed at which the IAC moves in order to
remove target idle speed error. If this value is too high for a specific application, the IAC Position
will oscillate (be out of control) and cause the engine speed to surge up & down. If the value is
too low for a specific application, the IAC will be slow to react to quick changes in idle speed
deviation. However, it's much better for this Term to be conservatively slow, rather than too fast.
The Proportional Term makes a change based on how far the engine is from the setpoint. For
example, if the desired idle is 750, the IAC would move more if the actual engine speed was 600
than if it was 700. The size of the Proportional Term determines how far the IAC moves.
I Term – (Integral) The speed of the system when the engine speed is near the target idle
speed. Raising this value increases the speed at which the IAC moves when the engine speed is
close to target idle speed. If this value is too high for a specific application, there may be "too
much IAC activity" around the target idle speed. If the value is too low for a specific application,
the IAC will be slow to react to changes near target idle speed. However, it's much better for
this Term to be conservatively slow, rather than too fast. The Integral Term acts to eliminate the
steady state error. The Integral Term job is to get the engine to idle at exactly 750 RPM (or
whatever the Target Idle Speed RPM is) and not at 740 or 760 RPM, for example.
D Term – (Derivative) Higher Derivative terms reduce the tendency of idle speed overshoot.
Smaller Derivative terms slow down the IAC movement as target idle speed is approached. The
Derivative Term looks at where the engine is going and where it will be in a half of a second. It
doesn’t look at where the engine is right now. For example, if the Target Idle Speed RPM is 750
and the engine speed is 700, but it's rapidly approaching 750, the Derivative Term will try to
close the IAC to slow the idle down and keep it from "overshooting" the Target Idle Speed RPM.
