    Question Throttle Cracker Question

    I have an issue with the car trying to die when I get off the throttle at low speeds. I noticed on my Throttle Cracker enable and disable, mine is set to enable at 42mph and disable at 41mph. A local tuner set it that way and I wonder if this is why its trying to die when I get off the throttle at low speeds. Here is a snapshot of my throttle cracker table and I circled in red where he set the enable and disable speeds. Any advise will help.

    At work so can't compare to a repository tune.

    Update: Have a screen shot of my tune here at work and I concur with TXZ0603's values as described below.

    The throttle cracker parameters are used to open the IAC motor as vehicle operating conditions change.

    Throttle Cracker Airflow vs. RPM vs. MPH: This table is used to open the IAC motor as RPM and MPH vary.

    Enable Speed: MPH threshold to disable the adaptive idle and enable the throttle cracker.

    Disable Speed: MPH threshold to enable the adaptive idle and disable the throttle cracker.

    Also on the 2004 MN6 Vette at least, depressing the clutch will also disable the throttle cracker...decay to 0.

    It's something that guys that mess with only F-bods often don't see coming. From what I have seen most all of them are like that, at least back to 99.
