Default Anyone raised their idle speed in a DBW car? ...

I have a DBW car and i've always noticed the car is a bit hesitant from dead idle (both of my DBW cars behaved this way). I know people have messed around with clutch sensors and all that, but has anyone just raised the idle speed 100rpms or so? What were your impressions? Any problems doing this? Thank you in advance. cheers! Mike

Default Yes. I have mine set to 1100 rpms.

I used Lemmiwinks to do it.

Default i have too...the only problem ive ever had is that if you choose a wierd number...

it tends to bounce around a little so choose a nice clean number and you should be fine

I bumped up the idle speed and idle torque a hair. Good modification.

Default could I do this to reduce the vibration from my neuspeed snub?

sorta like when A/C is on the vibration is gone.
