Okay… being a boomer used to dealing with old school analog tuning, I confess that I have absolutely no idea what all you did to electronically solve your idling problem, but I somehow managed to enjoy every minute of it. Go figure. Charlie and Angel cameos are always a win. Thank you as always for the video! 👍👍👍

The idle problem was because I had a bad factory PCM, like I diagnosed in the previous video.

Elec tuning vs mech tuning is the same thing but all the terms are all different enough to make you feel like a virgin all over again. Just like DSP vs analog audio and RF. You could be the shit with analog but jump to DSP and you're back in grade school even though you're mostly doing the same thing.
