my scangauge reports a LOD of about 20 while I am gliding, with AC on or the alternator going, or the lights on, or the fan running it gets up to the low 30s. So is there a way to zero my scangauge to read idle as LOD0?
Anyways idle out of gear wouldn't the engine still be doing some work? Moving the pistons, valves, sucking in air, oil and fuel pumps, and all the parasites on the timing belt. And wouldn't that work be getting down at a very inefficient load? Explaining why it takes 30 LOD to idle the engine and use AC, but 70 to have the tranny in gear and accelerate to highway speed.
