Poor Cold Idle -- Speed Density
92 speed-density TPI 383, XFI 280. Fires right up cold but within 3 seconds the CE light flickers on and then goes out, no code set. Starts to run like poop and have to hold the pedal to keep it running for about a minute; then suddenly it will smooth out and settle into its normal lopey low-vacuum idle. Drives perfectly after that.
Any ideas?

Done it since it was built. Tuner never had it to work on when it was cold; I drove it over there, cooled it down for a couple of hours, and then he tuned it. I did mention it at the time and he said he couldn't see anything related. Wasn't real gung-ho on tuning the factory setup though -- something a little different but no real groundshaker (he's used to tuning 1000hp turbo builds etc.) Said it was impressive for a TPI but that's about it . . .

Re: Poor Cold Idle -- Speed Density
using tunerpro rt, it would be good to see the blm numbers in closed loop in the 800-1400 rpm range. once the fueling correction has been fine tuned with the ve adjustments then cold start enrichments can be done. If the idle is poor ofter 160F the ecm may not be going into closed loop fast enought due to the o2 sensor not getting hot enough to become active. A heated o2 may solve this, Just throwing out some suggestions

Re: Poor Cold Idle -- Speed Density
Are those good numbers to look for? Or are those stock parameters? Maybe it doesn't matter on cold start . . . How much to bring them down at once to be noticeable?
