Ok fellas, here’s the run down Aux Air Regulator (AAR) and Cold Start Valve (CSV)/injector both work fine. Many of you have also been keeping up with my high idle issue that we figured out.
But yet, when the car is cold, i.e. room temp, I don’t get the high idle I should on start-up. Instead she cranks a bit and then lumbers to life. Idle lopes around 700-800rpm and then smooths out as it warms. In all other aspects of operation, the engine seems to be pretty happy. Thoughts? Experience?

Emery, AFM is attached to the air filter housing. It's the sunset box on that diagram.

It seems insane to measure total air entering and then try to use a part of that total air to modify the afr. In fact it still doesn't make sense. Cake and eat it too. I must read.... |

Wow, so basically a pot on the throttle and a TPS on the flap, and the aar cheats the TPS on the throttle by sneaking air without moving the throttle plate. Interesting, and explains the extreme sensitivity to vacuum leaks in ljets. If it is all based on ratios of signals between those two pots...
Yeah, squeeze away or get yourself a good hydroponic valve like mine.... |
