cold start: how to fix rpm over/undershoot
#1
![Default](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
i start my car and the rpms go up to ~1350 then way way low to about 400 and then over shoots again to 1100 and then goes to 900 and then back out even at 1000.
i also see that the dynamic airflow fluctuates a lot too with the iac count staying the same. i dont know what i can do here or what i can adjust really. any ideas?
also i cant find out the max iac position, what is the max number of iac counts?

Sounds like a vacuum leak to me, if IAC is not reacting.

there is nothign wrong, this happens for about 10 sec when you start the car cold then its fine. the iac motor is at 310 right now and i dont know if i can set it higher. the tb is ported and epoxy fillled with copper tube so its letting less air in, but i have read of oters with this problem and stock tb. once the car warms up just a little bit its alright.

I have the exact same problem so keep us posted. I have tried messing with the RAF table although I havent had any luck. This problem came about when I plugged the MAF back in after SD tuning(not sure why this happened since it is in open loop at cold start).
This was not a problem on cold start ups when I was still in SD mode. Why would this start after pluggin in the MAF?
