Hey Guys!
I have a little issue here. So my car was running okay. I was told it had a bad Idle valve which eventually I replace for a new one (did not feel any change in idle after replacement, but did not tune for it either). When the old one was on it was tune so shortly after revving it for a bit, it would idle somewhat high to compensate for the bad Idle Valve.
The car at one point stopped running properly to the point that it would not stay on at all, and sounded horrible, however after some fuel adjustment, injector voltage adjustment, CAS timing and BISS screw adjustment, it got running better than what it initially was.
Now the issue lies in the fact that the car does not stay on until it reaches operating temperature. Does not matter how hot it is, cold, 1/4 the way close to the middle, it stalls right out until it reaches normal temperature.
When we did the tune adjustment we did not touch idle values on ECUFlash. But now it does not try to idle whatsoever until it gets to operating temperature.
Any suggestion how to solve this issue? Is the new Idle valve bad already? Does it needs to be tune for that idling?
Ill be pulling out or at least try to test the valve using the methods I saw on a video earlier, see if valve is bad already.
Thanks in advance!
