High Idle?

[Brad.S.19]

Found out my truck has high idle, With not a damn clue how it works.

All I have been able to find is a white wire on the accelerator has been cut, soldered and another piece added in. I know that it is temperature based and I have zero control on when it engages and disengages.

As for the temp portion I do not know if it is based on ambient air, coolant, trans temp or a combination of them. start the truck idles a minute or two then will kick in once the idle has smoothed out some. I could be at a long stop light or getting fuel it will randomly engage until it is at temp for a undetermined amount of time.

I am familiar with the 6.0 style with a switch added in to control it and ones added to the pcm with a knob to control it. I cannot find any info whatsoever and if I need to remove it before I chip the truck and put a new idm in.

You don't need to do anything to it..they all idle up when it's cold. Kicks off when you push on the brake pedal.

Sounds completely normal.

Thanks, good to know because it has been pissing me off a lot especially when the below 5* at night after I plugged it in all night. just struck me as odd since my buddies e99 zf6 350 dually does not have it nor does someone with the same MY truck as mine. Idles to a grand until i hit the gas or brake pedal.

I'm willing to bet the manuals don't do it in case it sticks, (WAG) but as far as the autos, it's completely normal. I can't remember exactly what the parameters are, (oil/air temps) but when it hits them, the 1000k high idle after a minute or so is normal. (Until brake is hit or temp is met.)

I will say, I use a 1500rpm high idle on my hydra....really helps warm it up quicker! Way better than the stock EBPV was!

haha i need to get rid of my ebpv if I do not let my truck idle for at least 10-15 mins the ebpv just starts sticking when I am driving if I do not. Since it has been below every morning it just sticks at a lot more on my way to classes every morning and then it surges a lot also now. How are you liking the hydra over the ts you had?

I love it for the simple fact that I can burn the tunes, and don't have to pull/mail the damn thing. I just park close to the house, (Or in the garage) sit in the truck with the laptop, plug it in, and add/delete whatever tunes I want.

Zf6 trucks have temperature drivend high idle also, usually the parking brake has to be set, though.

^There we go, that makes more sense.

dont get rid of it.. its there for a purpose. and its doing what it should.. unless you are shooting for over 450hp and you live in a super warm climate then its fine where it is at.

Thanks, It just gets annoying some days when it is below +15* F out it is constant stop lights or at the the fuel pump. I hope I can get my hydra soon so I have a little more choice when it operates.
