Idle readjustment during warmup problem
Hey all I have an interesting problem.
Im running the Power FC with no commander right now.
When the car is warming up, the idle stays at 1500 or above untill the car has reached 180 F and doesnt drop any sooner then that. Once it hits 180F it drops to the normal idle range. It should progressively be getting lower as the car warms up, but it isnt. Its really annoying to have to burn the **** outta my clutch if I want to move anywhere anytime before my car has reached 180F.
Im not sure whats wrong, any suggestions would be appreciated
Steve

I believe I read on here that the Power FC does not communicate properly with the accelerated warm-up system (AWS). As a result, most people with a Power FC disable the AWS. I am going on memory so you may want to do a search.
