Ignition map question

Hi all,

I've been reading a lot today and setting up my ignition map when I came accross this on a UK web site. This is what someone said about an ignition map for the MJLJ:

"Once it's started a good trick to get a really good idle is to give some extra advance above and below your desired idle point -if you're idling at 1000rpm then run say 14 degrees at 500 rpm, 12 at 1000rpm and 14 at 1500rpm. What this does is give the engine a little boost if the idle drops below 1000rpm, compensating for any temperature changes."

Thoughts anyone?

While watching a timing light on several newer injected cars this seems to be what is happening with them. I beleive it should work well in most applications.

Those would be my words :-)

The other thing you can do is to narrow the rpm sites around idle, to give you more fine grained control in this important area.
