How to I change my 6.1 chip so I have closed loop idle? My engine builder is animate that it runs with closed loop idle. Thanks
 
It only goes into closed loop idle the first time the engine is started after a chip reset.

The engine will idle much better in open loop. Why is your engine guy worried about it?? Does he think it will be too rich??
 
If you want to run closed loop idle,you'll need to disconnect the connector for the orange wire by the battery to reset the computer. The first time you start the engine,it will run with closed loop idle as long as the engine runs untill you turn the ignition switch off. The next time the engine is started,it will automatically operate with open loop idle. It first needs to learn how much fuel the engine needs to operate at 14.7/1 air fuel ratio. Once it knows this,it can calculate how much extra fuel to give the engine to smooth out the idle during open loop idle operation.
