19.2 Idle speed control
This FT500 / FT500LITE can control idle speed through electronic
throttle, step motor, PWM valve and by timing.
To enable the idle speed control by electronic throttle, it is needed to
setup the menu “Electronic throttle” under “Engine setup” menu. After
that, you can follow this menu to setup idle parameters.

Actuator reaction level:
this parameter is the aggressiveness that
the timing and the actuator will be changed of position in order to
control a RPM fall. The higher this number, the more aggressive is the
reaction of the control.
High reaction levels may lead the idle speed to be unstable.

Automatic:
in this mode, idle actuator is automatically opened and
closed by the ECU in order to make the engine idle near the target RPM.
Fixed:
in this option, idle actuator assumes a fixed position, set up
later according to engine temperature.
ETC reference position:
this parameter is the actuator position
when the engine is turned off or cranking. It is also used as a stable
reference during the automatic idle speed control. Setup a value that’s
enough for a cold start of the engine. Start with a value around 4%
for electronic throttle and 30% for step motor.
