SUBARU3 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 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.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 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. GD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
