Can PFC disable AWS?

I will be installing a PFC this weekend. Can the accelerated warm up system be disabled with the Power FC? If so, how?

It is disabled automatically.

Saying that it's disabled automatically is kind of misleading. It's disabled by the fact that one of the four wires you have to cut at the harness leads to the AWS solenoid.

The AWS solenoid is not needed. The PFC could care less if it is there or not. I know of three cars with the PFC who have removed the AWS solenoid including me. It clears up a lot of space in the rear and under the UIM.

You can also bypass the FPR solenoid as it is useless. Go from the LIM directly to the FPR with the hose.

The PFC has it's own warmup idle program. Not as high as stock, and it actually drops gradually as the engine warms up.

You can remove the coolant hose from the throttle body can't ya? I do live in Florida though so it doesn't get that cold out here. I have this done, so I can't even remember how high the power fc's warmup program went.

It's been months since I've driven it, but I recall seeing 1500 RPM at startup, gradually decreasing to 750 as it warms up.

Does the FPR vaccume line need to go to the LIM, (aftermarket FPR) i have seen a few people route it this way.
