Re: Cold start idle surge after certain ECT


You can post it, but it probably will not change anything as it sounds like this is the result of the parts used and the tuning involved.


Please see attached.

I'm not chasing the idle issue, but the cold start idle spike when the ECT hits a certain temperature. I don't see how parts used could ...

Cold start idle surge after certain ECT

I've been having this issue for more than a year after I rebuilt my engine.

Once ECT hits ~45c (based on FP log), idle will surge from ~1.3k to ~2.2k. It only happens when water temperature reads below 50c on my Defi.

I've had two tuners work on my car so far, and another friend who took a look at ...
