    Without file hard to say… could be fuel related and just not enough air.. I assume this isn’t a stock car anymore

    Try starting here if your wanting to adjust the starup airflow.

    Press CTRL+N to open navigator, Type in 12146 and it goes to this table.


    Engine - Idle - Airflow - Startup - [ECM] 12146 - Idle Startup Friction Airflow Initial vs. ECT: Initial value for Friction Airflow, decay starts from this value.

    The IAC counts are maxed out in your log. The IAC cannot give the engine enough air.

    Here is a link we send to our customers on how to adjust cable throttle bodies.

    So I should drill a hole in my throttle body? And re tune the iAC steps ?

    so i drilled a hole in the throttle body and end with a 11/16th drill bit, i got the car to start without throttle in the cold but the rpm is still hunting somewhat
