Hi,

I'am running a worked a Throttle Body injected, Canems managed 1380cc with a VmaxScart Super Charger. I would now like to give my foot a rest and install an after market Idle Air Control Valve.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Depends entirely open the capabilities of the Canems ECU.

Can it drive a stepper motor or PWM valve?

Thanks I've just been advised to use the GM unit which the Canems can operate.

How will an idle valve stop your foot getting tired ?

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

Won't have to keep blipping the throttle when the engine is idling :)

Why not either adjust the idle ignition advance, or adjust the throttle stop?

Get the problem fixed so that it will idle then. It must either have a bad fault or be very badly tuned if it wont idle on its own.
