When starting the car for the first time of the day it'll fire off and then immediately high idle around 1800 then drop to 1000 and then its target idle, I have already check for vacuum leaks and have found none of the sorts. This could be something they tuned in, start up flare, or some other routine running in the background.
Whats a normal reading for the o2 sensors on a startup, i understand that they would vary from going open loop to closed though when looking at my o2 readings there about a 100-150 mV difference between the two. is it possible that my o2 are bad? i've had a case where my o2 were bad and the car ran light ass until i went WOT and it ran like it normally would. though in the case with this new tune when blipping the throttle the rpms will hang up for a bit and will take a fair amount of time until returning to target idle. I ignore the O2s at startup, and so does the car because they need to get hot to function correctly. If you have long tubes you might have to ignore the O2s at idle as well. I was able to get mine to switch with the 228r and longtubes, but it took a good amount of time getting fueling right, setting the integrator correctly, and getting proportional idle right.
I also came across the reading of the map sensor that it was reading a positive pressure in psi though since i don't have forced induction shouldn't it read a negative value for vacuum? could it be a bad map sensor? Outside the engine is ambient pressure. Inside the engine is less than ambient, but not less than zero. If you idle at say 40kPa and are at sea level the ambient is ~100kPa. That means you have 60Kpa of vacuum, but we are thinking in absolute pressure not relative.
The only DTCs that popped up were Fan 1 and 2 circuit fault, and a pending injector P0200. I'm not worried about the fan code as i pulled the relays to test out others so i understand why those were on.
After the car has had its first startup the only way for me to start again is crank over and hold the pedal wide open and when it does fire off it'll run extremely rough for a few seconds and then have a back fire. Sounds lean?
Any help would be much appreciated, I haven't been able to drive my car in roughly 6 years and i've been aching to get back to it. I have attached log files to see if anyone can stop irregularities the ones labeled 228r are a startup and idle while the other two are short trips totaling in maybe 2 miles.
