The readings look OK. You need to let it warm up and then see what the stepper value is. With a cool engine and 30-32 steps, the engine may be in a satisfactory range for the stepper. It looks like the lambda sensor is switching. It may take 15 minutes or more to warm up in the drive way.


I did think that it’s may need to be upto temperature to be honest, once it’s warmed up what should the stepper be set to ?
Is it good that the lambs sensor is switching sorry I’ve no idea ?

This information in the table  is embedded in the ACR, if you click and hold on a value the extra information is shown. The stepper should be from 16-25 steps after adjustment. Mine always seems to creep up after a period of time.

Excellent thank you for that, I’ll get her up to Temp and attempt to adjust the steps thanks again ????

If your stepper value is between 16-25 when warm, then it requires no adjustment.

In my opinion, even if it is at the higher end by just a few steps, say up to 27 or 28, it should not seriously impact the engine running.

Is that between 16/25 when upto full temperature ? I’m hoping that it’s out and by setting it sorts out my problem which at the moment is just the revs ever so slightly holding for a second or so when I gently rev it apart from that runs good

Yes, between 16-25 when warm. The ACR wont let you make adjustments until it is up to temperature. Yours appeared to be at 30 when not up to temp, so it should drop as it warms.

Hi all back again on this,while attempting to adjust the steps I noticed that there was an issue with the throttle body, it’s really tight once it closes see video what do we think 🤔

The plastic throttle bodies can warp with time. They can be fixed by gentle sanding until they no longer bind.

Or you an buy a new Burlen metal version:

It comes with a new throttle position sensor as well.

I know I’ve already looked on Minispares very expensive!!! And I’ve just put a brand nee TPS in mine 🤦‍♂️

Once you get the throttle body sorted, you will need to adjust the stepper.

This video quickly goes through the ACR interface.

I meant to do a voice over for it, but I ran into an issue with my car and the lambda sensor which I am sorting out.

That’s brilliant really appreciate that Mate thank you, you
Don’t show how to actually adjust the steps is this done by winding out the throttle screw on the right of the throttle body itself until the right steps are achieved, obviously once it’s upto temperature? Thanks again 👍🏻

Yes I meant to take a picture of that. The important part is to make small changes and see how the value displayed on the ACR moves

Here is a picture of the adjustment screw.

 

It is alittle tricky loosening the lock nut. I then use a torx bit to make the adjustment. and very carefully tighten the lock nut. Then retest to make sure nothing moved again.
