Well, you are onto something Hustler. Took out the plugs, they were black as sin - and they were a new set no less.

Threw in another new set of plugs, let's see what this log of TEH DRIVINGS reveals.

Threw in a new set of plugs that were a heat range colder. At first, it idled like ass, harsh vibration, that sort of thing.

Took it for three drives, all of which I have logs provided.

At the final drive, it was purring like a kitten. With plugs that were cold enough to make it idle super-shittily before, and not only that, but I was able to time it no problem. Granted, my AFRs were still bouncing a bit, but that just seems weird.

Apparently, I can't let it warm up via idling, I just need to drive the shit out of it.

My best guess is the issue is twofold, because cold start sucks ass still even with the brand new plugs.

The first issue was that idling, well, fouled plugs. Which is insane, considering I had a brand new plug come out of there looking like it was sitting in a chimney for years after idling for ~30 minutes while trying to set timing.

The second? I have a serious cold start issue. A serious, serious cold start issue that makes it idle horrible untill I actually drive it. Future hot starts gave me no hiccups, and I just restarted it as I am typing this. It purrs like a kitten on hot starts, hot starts are perfect.

No really "bad" just the reality of not running sequential.

I must be blind, as I cannot find this setting in tunerstudio. Can you point me in the right direction? After reading the reasoning to make the change, I want to make sure I have it where it needs to be.

Thanks,

Jason

Basic setup -> EGO control -> Active below MAP

This is for the MS2.

I have mspnp1, that explains it.

Thanks,
