Its been a while since I posted. I havent been driving the car alot and been working alot. But my last post was about my VE being way off between air temps.

Well now that its cold, my car wont idle most of the time, mainly when colder air/eng temps. Ive noticed when it wont idle, my short term idle correction is not working??

Any reasons why this is not working? I noticed the B4501/idle learn is set to 80/112.. which is mainly engine operating temp. Do I need to lower this to make it idle? But if so, why will it sometimes work and idle, but others it wont even if temps are similar?

The car is mainly a fair weather car, but I need to know that if something happens to my other car, I can drive this one w/o it stalling as backup.
