How is she running? Also I might have missed it, but are you tuned?

It doesn't really seem to have help. But luckily this issue only happens when it's cold out so I'm not really sure what the deal is. And yes I am tuned. Bama tune , jlt cai, lethal o/r x pipe, flow master mufflers.

Have you tried data logging the cold starts? Send that to them and ask them to tweak something maybe?

I run a BAMA 93 Race tune on my DD and I don't have this issue. I would suggest having the tune tweaked or drop down to performance.

FWIW it was 31 this morning when I went out and fired it up, I just let it high idle and come down on its own.

Get the comm checks with the key turned on and start to start logging as you turn it over. Let me know how this works

I agree, that's what i do, just lately on cold start, it starts to high idle then drops down to just above a grand. Then goes back up a bit. I just don't understand why it would only do it on a cold start up and nothing else is different when I'm driving around or when I stop and it's idling.

Ok so I'm not sure exactly why I waited so long to make a video but here it is. Is this something I should be worried about?
