Default Messed with Lemmiwinks today.

By turning up the idle to about 1100, and increasing the idle speed torque I was able to drastically reduce the number of misfires. I understand that this is not a fix, but it does help with my sanity some. Now i don't feel like accidentally driving my car off a cliff

I'll post up some logs at idle soon

Thanks again.

Default yes, my gauge...it is the 034 one

Per Bentley -
(stock)
At idle: approx. 3.5 bar (50 psi)
After 10 minutes (after engine is off): at least 2.5 bar (36 psi)

I was bleeding off fuel pressure too quickly a while back....causing the car to sometimes not start on the first try. Second try, it always started. Turned out to be a bad Fuel Pressure Regulator.

Default Could be?

I am going to change the TB soon, so that will at least eliminate TB tensioner.

FWIW, turning the idle up to 1100 and turning the idle torque value up with lemmiwinks really helped. I know that is a bandaid to the problem, not a fix, but would that tell us any info on what is wrong?

Default MAF reading at idle is about 3.5-3.8 g/s

Sound OK to you?

Default Normal.

Should have asked earlier, but what are the LTFT readings?

Default

basically, the cost of repair is more than buying new. I still don't think I should have to pay.
