my ms3 is hard to start when its hot due to iat sensor heat soaking. sounds like you need to adjust the throttle blade alittle to get your iac back in range. cant really do that without any tuning software though. as many ms3 cars as TSP has tuned i'm sure the mail order is close but there are certain drivability issues that are better dealt with in person.

Dont do any adjusting on your throttle body, i have a ms3 in my car and a mail order tune from TSP and it does the same thing, the tune sucks, but i knew it would. It is just tempotary until i get my motor broke in to do a dyno tune. A hand held programmer is a waste of time and money. GET A DYNO TUNE BY A PROFESSIONAL! you will regret doing anything else.

I know that TSP can tune cars because they have done plenty of them before. However when they tuned my car and it was horrible to drive and I have a little vrx2. I contacted Ron at vengenace and mike hooked my up with a mail order tune that was about 95% dead on. Keep in mind that my car was dyno tuned by Jason at TSP. I am not talking bad about there shop just my experience.
