Spent some time with tyrefryer yesterday tuning his car. Great car, BTW! I love it.
Anyhow, we had a couple of weird things happen, including something strange going on with the IAC that had us very confused. While driving around, the IAC motor was jumping all over the place- up over 100 at times (as viewed on the dashboard). This was really pushing the car along, especially when coasting to a stoplight or even under light throttle driving. Eventually at a stoplight the IAC would return back down to 10-15 and the idle speed would settle down to setpoint, but it would take 15 - 30 seconds to get there. We had slowed down the idle P & D reaction to dampen an idle speed oscillation, so the IAC would act kinda slow, but not that slow!
Checked out the Max TPS for idle, that was set to 11, and the TPS rested at 10 at idle. TPS during driving was well over that, like 20-25, so that shouldn't be moving the IAC around.
Next thing I did was drop the throttle follower to zero all the way across, so that wouldn't affect it.
What else is left? Why would the IAC be going sky high and pushing the car like that? The car was well above idle (both RPM and TPS), there was no throttle follower, yet the dashboard was showing the IAC values to be very high (jumping between 60 & 100).
I can't think of any other settings that would make the IAC move.

p.s. Engine was a 355 smallblock Chevy with 83# injectors (injector opening time set to 1.5 ms on advice from his injector supplier), belt for the supercharger was removed so we were driving around NA.
