High Idle & MPG Fooler


Recommended Posts

  • Owner

Just a thought....why couldn't I use a manual idle cable. Like a choke cable just to get high idle,as you can see I have too much time on my hands here.I also saw a plug and play 3 speed idle box,don't know if it will work on the cummins yet. Gonna call and ask this week if I remember.

Because of safety factors.

With the high idle flash and box you still have all the safety system in place. The high idle will cancel with...

[*]Touching the throttle

[*]Touching the brake pedal

[*]Placing the trans in gear (auto)

[*]Speed above 0 MPH

[*]Coolant above 170*F

With a choke cable to hand throttle you can't use the exhaust brake as a warm up aid because the throttle is above 0% so exhaust brake is canceled. (virtual loading)

Then also there is no 3 cylinder mode with choke or hand throttle which creates more heat than 6 cylinder. (virtual loading)
