when you go into the 'etc' menu, then to the switch/sensor screen, what switchs are lit up?
Hi thanks for the input.



Yes I let it learn for 10 mins at no load

10 mins w/ lights on

10 mins w/ air on



I just checked the switches: I have the following lit. CAT, ELD, HWL, PAC, and CCN



Does that sound right?



Thanks, Tom [/quote]

HWL is the cat temp light. The PFC uses this as a check engine light. Are any of the sensor readings reverse lit? (dark background with green numbers)

Hey Tyson,



Thanks man! I will check as soon as I get home tonight and post results here. From memory, I don't remember any of the sensors displays bein revers lit. I will check though.



Thanks again, Tom

There must be some significance to the fact that she only stalls when the engine is cold. Maybe some sort of water temp correction???

Could be. Maybe the water temp sensor has failed or has a problem.

Yes. The water temp rises as the car runs, I have been watching it on the commander.



Thanks Tom

Ok, My bad. When I reported those switches earlier, I had done it in the key on posistion engine not running. With the engine running and warm the switches I have lit are as follows FPD ( fuel pump operation ) PAC ( port air control ) and CCN ( charge control ) .

Hey All,



I think I got it. Like I said, it only had the problem when I first started it ( cold ). I went to the water temp correction page and bumped the numbers in the 10°C range from 1.57 1.50 to 1.79 1.73 respectively.



Started and continued running fine the past two days. Hope that ends that problem.



Thanks for the replys, Tom

Hi Yayer,



Got it from Rotary Extreme in a group buy.



Did you get yours fixed. Mine has been starting fine now.
