Car will not idle at start up!
Crap! Every morning I go to work my 02 LS1 won't idle for crap! Anyone had this problem. It coughs, spits, sputters, and will die when clutch is engaged. Fight this for about 5 minutes and it finally acts right! Runs fine after that until you let it sit for a few hours and cool down, then it does it again. The car is throwing NO CODES! HELP? Thanks...

make your tuner look at it when cold so he can see whats going on.
we might be able to help if we can see a copy of your tune or a log file from when its cold.
seems like a relatively "stockish" motor so theres no reason for the mods to make it idle like doodee. I would suggest the tune is borked or somethings wrong mechanically.

So do you have a data logging tool? We really need to know basic things like what the a/f & IAC counts are when it's doing this before we can tell you anything useful. Otherwise you'll be shooting in the dark. There is just too much that could cause this....

I am going to pull the TNT nitrous ring off and reinstall with black silicone thinking maybe there is a vacuum leak going on or something. Whatever it is, its not throwing a code so I have a feeling its something going on in that area.. I would think that if it was a stock componant, it would throw a code as I hear that the OB system in an 02 is notorious for throwing codes for just about every possible problem.
