IAC min/max keep alive learn temps.

Just what exacly does this parameter do? The temps seem to be set real high in my bin, which I can now read with TunerPro. Like 185f for min and 250f for max temps. I would think I should be lowering the min temp, since I have a modified cooling system, and thus my engine runs much cooler than stock.

What you all think?

I have my max set to 100.25C (212.45F) and my min set to 59.75C (139.55F)...

My fans are set so my car NEVER goes over 200F and I'm going to install a 180 degree thermostat too...

92GTA, so what good does that do, if your car never gets over 200F? If you consider that GM factory setups had 195F T-stats, and very high fan turn-on temps, then this IAC keep alive learn thing might work.

Anyone have a clue as to what GM was doing with this parameter? Is this just another set of enable temps for the IAC to use specific tables?

Because if my min is 139 and my max is 212, then my max of 200 is close enough to my max so that if my engine does get a little hotter I'm covered and since it runs at a lower temp I lowered the min to 130. Seems like it's the perfect range to me

Woops, me bad, I didnt look at your first post close enough, before I replied!

I thought 212F was your min for some reason. Your range is fine. I will have to lower my min temp.

Still don't really know what this parameter does.
