Tune for an early Rocket

[Rocket Scientist]

i don't think that Jims hunted but it wasn't like i checked it for that peticular problem.
does it set codes i guess it probably does unhooked.
but when it is hunting does it set codes?
a bad primary tps might cause it to hunt.

My bike had the high idle problem ever since I got it. I've tried all the repairs. Got the later base program that was supposed to help, replaced TPS with blue inside one, cleaned everything, replaced stepper motor, you name it. After it played up on one of the RAA rides I got fed up and took it off and set the idle with the screw. It's been great since, except my engine light stays on so it's not able to alert me of a real problem. It looks like the new android version of Tuneecu has the option to turn of the idle control. I just downloaded it and am waiting for my license to be approved.

I left the motor on mine and removed the linkage, saved the link for whatever's. Doesn't set a code and I adjusted the little screw to raise idle. Haven't had a problem for several years.

it didn’t on mine not saying it wouldn’t

Soooo, I took my idle stepper motor and did some checking. It has two sets of windings that measure 8.2 ohms each. I ordered a couple 8.2 ohm 3 watt resistors and wired them in, in place of the stepper motor. Now I can clear the stepper alarm and my check engine light is functional again. I ran it by @DEcosse and he didn't think it would hurt anything. I went for a 150 mile ride today and all is well !

dont know how hot those would get might check and make sure they wont burn anything.

I left the key on with the engine off for about 20 minutes, that is when a disconnected stepper will cycle in out out repeatedly trying to set the initial idle speed. The resistors got warm. You had to hang onto them for several seconds to tell they were warmer than room temperature. They are in a little container I made so they have air space around them. I felt it periodically on my ride today and it never felt any warmer than the surrounding parts.
