when i start my car in the morning.. some neighbors are outside and the loud *** warmup is not that great.. i was wondering how can i stop... i read put the car in gear and start the car.. but it doesnt stop it....

and please dont say to rip it out...

thanks

 

Rip it out...

 

Putting the car in first gear while holding in the clutch should work. If it doesnt, I think you would have to rip it out to disable it.

 

Its an Auto tranny

 

i think alot of members read only the thread title and not the thread detail itself...

 

blip the throttle when you start it up

 

There is a small thermo switch on the bottom drives side of the rad. Unplug it and jumper the wires together. That switch's only purpose is the 3K startup, and it can be safely disabled. If you want to get rid of the 1500 RPM cold idle, you need to do the throttle body mod and remove it. But I don't recommend that since the car might not idle correctly until warmed up.

 

Aaron cake, that sensor does not exist on S5's, IIRC.

 

hmm aaron makes mistakes too, aaron you shouldnt be over my *** all the time if i make a mistake, just tap the gas when ya start it and it will quit otherwise dont worry about it.

 

its just the amount of smoke that comes out with the noise makes people think like wtf... so if i could kill the accel warm up its cool...

iam gonna try that blip the throttle thing next morning..

 

lol i know how you feel. "............its normal..."

 

unplug the AWS. it'll lower it a little bit.

 

The car is gonna smoke when you start up, and will smoke until the cats/exhaust get heated up to normal temps. Tap the throttle to get the cold start back down to 1500.

 

hmm... when i started my car like 20 mins ago.. cold start thing kicked it but i blipped the gas... worked fine...

i wasnt too worried about the smoke issue because i know thats normal.. but sometimes the Accel warmup is not needed...

 

The difference is Aaron is right 99.9% of the time, and you are wrong 99.9% of the time. You can't compare apples to garbage.

 

does anyone know why it smokes on startup (normal smoking)?

 

my guess would be oil setting in the engine.

 

I just pop from park to drive as soon as I start it. With mine and it stops it from going to 3000.
