Good afternoon. I have a 95 TSI AWD, only mods are DSMLink, aluminum intake, and 2.5 exhaust.
I recently got a code for the ISC after installing DSMLink. I took DSMLink grounded the grounds in it, adjusted BISS to a good idle, ungrounded and fine tuned it for ISCpostion to sit at 30 on running temp idle with no loads on.
This is where it gets strange. I can start the car, drive, everything is fine. Idle, acceleration etc. doesn’t matter if I drive for 10 minutes or an hour, it drives fine, and at idle ISCpostion reads 30-32.
The issue comes when I turn the car off and go back to start the car on a hot start. It starts without issue but runs rough as hell, and the ISCposition sits at 40-45 at idle. This won’t correct itself and the idle stays rough and the ISC won’t go under 40. Under hard acceleration sometimes it will stutter in lower RPMS and sometimes has a mini backfire and once I hit 3k RPM or above the stutter goes away. I’ve done a few logs, don’t know what to look for really data wise.
I know people have issues on hot start with bad FPS, but those issues seem to go away after a little idle time… mine does not.. could it be an issue with the FPS and what would be a good way to test it? Maybe just bypass it completely as it’s simply a hot start/vaporlock system.
There are no check engine lights or pending codes.
Thank you.
