    Default 1998 Corvettte cold start issue (MAF DELETE related?)

    I received a 1998 corvette with not 3-4 in a 60e, I pulled the trans and rebuilt it, no issue, the customer then wanted to fix his cold start issue

    I Pulled the tune(no MAF on the car) and started to look at it...

    During a LOG the commanded desired airflow is at 0.00!!! and only runs when i give it throttle until 99degreesF then rpms jump up as desired airflow is now reading 2-3 grams/sec. In the tune there is 3-4 grams/sec under 100F ECT, but I cannot understand why it isnt trying to add throttle by itself...Electronic Throttle should be the "IAC" correct?

    I have noticed the speed density tune was somewhat incomplete, I set the p0101, p0102, p0103 to non emmisions, but it didnt help...do i need to get a custom OS in it???Is one even availiable for a 1998 car?

    thanks for any help tips or tricks.

    Is the MAF physically missing...?

    Do you have any logs of the cold start...?

    Did they leave the IAT wires connected...?

    Yes sir, I wasn't watching it to see the value, I'll double check to see if its reading but it was in the intake

    I got a cold start log, added a few pids I think might be helpful, Notice the desired airflow is 0.00 until 99F ECT, thats where rpms jump up ...during the 99F and colder are I have my foot on the gas pedal, when it hits 99F it will idle without my foot on the pedal , I also noticed the OL to CL mode happens at 92F ECT , not sure if its related?

    Your B4307 looks like it needs to be lowered by 50%

    Here is a File from Tune file depot, maybe do a compare and see if there is anything obvious to you, or try the stock tune in vehicle and see how it runs.
    It's all good until it goes "Bang"
