Idle Help with 112 LSA Cam in A4 my idle is starting to mess up
i got dyno tuned and it seemed like it worked prefect for my car, it idles like 900 or so... speedworks did the dyno-tune
it seems like if i don't let the engine completly warm up, it wants to surge after driving it for less than a mile while the engine was already cold. when i first start it,(cold) it idles fine, no surging, its when i drive it for less than a mile and park it in front of my house, the idle surges alot and then dies
it seems like when i drive it for 15 miles or so, the idle is perfect in low gear, ect
my questions are:
1. can this be fixed with the dyno-tune, and if so, SpeedWorks should stand behind it
2. or should i just let the car completly warm up before for like 5-10 mintutes before driving it
thanks for your help

Re: Idle Help with 112 LSA Cam in A4 i would contact speedworks and ask if theyve heard of this happening before
also, my ws-6 is the first n/a car ive had in a long time, so im used to giving the car 5-8 mins to warm up before driving....its just easier on them

Re: Idle Help with 112 LSA Cam in A4 i'd make sure they set your rpms right in those temp ranges.. i mean maybe someway they didnt set the idle in say the 100-140 range. I take its a certain temp or certain time it occurs at all the time?
I usually let mine warm up so the idle smooths out on my first startup of the day. Ilike for everything to get warm and oiled well <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
does this happen in gear also? or just in park?
some more timing around idle could help that also <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Idle Help with 112 LSA Cam in A4 mine is good. we just raised the rpm over the whole range and it was fine. mine wants to hessitate a little sometimes, but i thnk that is just b/c i havent messed with the IAC yet.
