RPMs at initial start EJ22

Featured Replies

  I am trying to figure out how to adjust the initial RPMs at startup. My 95 EJ22  106K starts easily, but when it's cold it revs too high initially for a second or 2. It then settles quickly to the normal cold RPM. In my opinion for a cold/oil less start, that is just causing wear. I understand the RPMs will be higher when cold, BUT the "initial REV" is not what I want. I have 3 other EJ cars and none of them do that. 

(I'm talking about COLD starts with temps less than say 35 degrees. Car is fine in the summer).

 

    Thoughts?

 

 Thanks Todd

I dunno, but, maybe try a batt disconnect reset?

is the defrost setting selected on hvac? maybe try a setting without the a/c comp.?

 

just some easy things to try....

There is no adjustment for that. It would require reprogramming the ECU and pre-99 models are not even flash capable so it would need a custom EPROM written for it. 

It's really not going to hurt anything or cause any excessive wear. The EJ22 will easily go 300k.
