Default Question for AEM EMS Users

I feel my car is idling a little high (@ 1,700 rpm) with the EMS. What are you guys idling at?

I've set mine at 1400.

I haven't changed to the wide band yet and any less results in a pulsating idle because of the narrow band factory 02 sensor.

I doubt this has anything to do with yours but it's a heads up. Recently my idle went up a few hundred rpm. I discovered a vacuum hose had come off on the intake manifold. It was a noticeable change when it happened. Boost.

My idle will not go any lower than 1100 with a/c on.

just curious, what are the ignition timing you guys have at idle?

I know that every car is differrent and it doesn't matter what this is as long as its at TDC but I am just curious. Mine is at 17.45 degree.

Timing is set at 5.15 deg at idle. This is close to stock.
