Thread: 5.3L with big cam won't idle at target speed

    5.3L with big cam won't idle at target speed

    I have a 2014 5.3L with a large cam and I am having a hard time getting it to idle at my target idle speed, and timing is jumping all over the place. It also will just shut off randomly at above 2600 when I let off the pedal. Any help is appreciated.

    Im dealing with similar issues on a similar combo, and found that lowering the Airmass A-D tables in the idle area is helping bring the idle up to commanded. I swagged out 80% first, then been fine tuning from there.

    I dialed in the SD and Maf first and trims are in line... Still needs some work, but getting closer it seems...

    make sure airflow is correct. What are you grams/cylinder and what hertz is it idling at?

    Airflow=torque and the ECM is trying to hit a torque number. It will do what it needs to do so even if the engine idles with negative timing values and messes with the throttle blade.
