Cold idle ?

Hi all,

getting cold up here and since this my first winter on E I wanted to address issue.

Start up is fine, however idle move up a bit then down a few times.
After around 20-30 seconds it will dip too low and stall. Kinda a PITA when I want to let the car warm up on it's own and go back in the house.

Should I be focusing on this table in V7
Idle Stepper Lookup table

If so, which areas should I be focusing on.

thanks

What is your target idle set at with the colder temps? what does your timing look like in that area?

try lowering the timing in the 10-40 load areas between 1000-1500rpms. try like 5 or 7 and see if that helps.

Timing keeps the idle up, idle rich (13.0), make sure you have the BISS set right. Idle at 1000-1200 warm, 2000 cold.
