hello,
I am finding more often now, if my car has a "good" start, she will run well for an entire trip. All SM numbers in spec, smooth idle etc. Now if I have a "harder" start. meaning it will take some time to fire up, or may even need a touch of throttle to start, then she runs less well, with a unsmooth idle and SM numbers are a little skewed. Particularly the IAC , which while in this state , wont drop below 50 at idle in gear or park. Another curiosity is that I have been able to turn the car off ,restart it and on occasion the numbers and operation return to normal.
Of late however, this "reset" has not been so successful and the poor operation is more regular.
Oh, and no codes thrown ever.
I don't have a spare computer, but I tempted to buy one, not only to see if it improves things, but if not, as a good spare.
I welcome all comments and observations.
thanks
Jim
