I am having some issues with idle. Sometimes the car idles fine. However, at first startup it does not want to idle smooth, or longer than 20 seconds or so. I am seeing very low values on the front O2 sensor, and have not gotten my WBO2 to actually work, thinking of calling AEM about it.

Its showing 5 degrees of timing at idle, and with the engine shut off. Is this not the correct value for base timing?

Wow not even a single view :( I have replaced the ECM Link chip with my old chip and is still idling like a buttered turd. Lots of white smoke on a cold start as well. I am thinking either bad HG or Leak in the TB. I am gonna delete the coolant to the TB and see if that helps.
