Fast idle valve wiring

Post by pit_celica »

Hi, I use a trubo vsv (vaccum switch valve) as a Fast idle solenoid. When it's grounded, the air can pass an my idle is growing up (its and on/off setup). This is what I want to do. I want to know how to wire this solenoid with my megasquirt II.

I know that I need to use pin #30 (Fidle). Please someone, make me a shematic on how to wire the pin#30 to my valve and how I wire the 12+ and the neg-.

Does the Fidle is grounded everytime but when the engine reach the required temp it's switched off?

Does the Fidle is a continuous 12V+ but when it reach the required temp it's switched off?

Learn me!

Thanks

Sam

bump,

please someone. I simply want to know what kind of signal is providing by the Fidle (pin#30) when the idle algorithm is set to"Solenoid", when the coolant temp is under the specified temp (Idle control/Fast idle Temperature(°F)). Is it a +12V or a ground?

Please, this is the only thing I want to know!

Thanks

Sam
