I can't get my car to stop idle hunting once warmed up and It is getting really old. The idle adjustment screw is all the way tight, I have let it idle for up to 1 hr to let it learn. It has to be something else Also I have no vaccum leaks and everything is connected. It is starting to drive me crazy

Check the EGO correction at idle.

EGO??? On the commander, if so what should it be?? Do you know what it does or what it stands for?

play around with the throttle screw...not the idle control screw. if you have already...disregard this.

The O2 sensor. Is your car in open loop at idle?

Open loop is when the O2 is disconnected right? Or is it the other way around? Currently the 02 is connected, but I turned the o2 sensor option off on the commander. I will try disconnecting it and see what happens.

Excuse me, im an idiot, and I mixed them up. Closed loop is where the engine uses feedback from the O2.



If its off, it shouldnt be the problem.



Next idea. Are you using the pill in the boost sensor line? Fluctuations in vacuum from a ported engine could cause that.
