cold start after car tune!

Just got my car tune for my single set-up, but on a cold start, the engine will cut off or stall right after a few seconds after cranking.. Car idle's fine and solid with no hipcups around 70c+. Using my power fc commander, I change the water temp. setting and pretty much all the setting on setting #2 back to original or stock base. That helps a little bit, it doesn't stall as quickly as it used to, but my idle still bounce around and when it bounce too low it will stall the car.. on my commander I think my inject. duty still reads too low. Where else should I make change or look for without harming my map????

Well...when your car was tuned they probably pulled fuel out of the map so now your water temp correction table is probably to lean, you need to now tune your corrections....if your using the commander you need to richen up the left column in the water temp table @ the temps in which you are having issues. it will take a few mornings of tweeking to get it just right.

Yes that's probably what he did. he change the setting on the water temp. fuel, and some other setting, so basically everything that is on setting #2 is back to base map as it was before. what other setting should I need to be corrected??

anybody else knows why my car doesn't have the warm-up stage anymore, cause during warm up, it's idling too low, I think this is what's cutting my engine off?? what setting should I be looking at??

The hot wax rod and fast idle cam is what increases rpms when the engine is cold.
Time for you to bury your head in section "F" of the manual.
