Stupid question about idle with MS3
I have a MS3 in my car. When I start the car when the engine is cold the car has a real nice raspy choppy idle. After it warms up it smooths out and doesnt sound nearly as good..
Is this normal??
Thanks

I have my MS3 on a 113 LSA, and it idles around 850-900 rpms I believe. Holds idle just fine, and has a very nice lope to it. Sure it doesn't sound like something John Force drives, but its enough for others to know its not stock.

It is a 112 LSA..
It idles right around 900rpm.(if i remember correctly)
Car never stalls out but when it is hot and is started it hunts for a smooth idle. Takes about 10-15 seconds to smooth out. Think it might be getting too much fuel at start up..

If the idle is set to low, the engine may kill when there is a load on the front of the engine, like turning the a/c on or turning the steering wheel. Oil pressure may be alittle lower but shouldn't hurt the engine.

Mine hunts for idle on warm/hot start also with the ms3, stabilizes in about 5 seconds (or so).
also lopes awesome, idle is set at 850.
I love the sound, it's freaking awesome- 112 lsa
