    Default Cold start, IAT, ECT question.

    Hopefully a simple question.

    In the colder days of winter, I logged my cold start AFR's and corrected the ECT multiplier table A0008, COS5.

    I had all the ECT temps from around 15F and up holding at 13.75 AFR.

    Now when I go and start the car with 50F plus ambient temps, its holding around 12.5 AFR. Richer than I want.

    I am running closed loop/MAF/VE so once it goes into closed loop the trims handle the rest. I am looking for a way to get repeatable cold start AFR in all weather conditions.

    Thanks in advance.

    Joe,

    Put new IAT and ECT sensors and things are working OK again.

    Thanks

    Cool that was easy.
