Day 9 — Cold-Start Idle Run

1 log analyzed · 21.8 minutes logged · full cold-start to warm idle, no wideband installed

Clean cold-start idle — no knock, healthy charging, idle converging toward target Full cold start logged on August 19, the day after the Day 8 session. Engine idles from an 86.9°F cold start through 195.1°F peak coolant with no knock detected anywhere. Idle RPM converges steadily toward the ~900 RPM target as the engine warms, mirror-imaging the Day 8 behavior. VBatt holds steady at 13.8–14.3 V once running — charging is healthy. Two known blockers carry forward unchanged: no wideband O2 is connected (wb1isValid = 0 for all 19,608 records), and idle closed-loop has still never activated.

10Data For The Tuner

Numbers pulled from the fully-warmed portion (CLT > 176°F, TPS < 2%, 400–2000 RPM) unless noted.

Idle closed-loop still never engages Idle: Closed loop active = 0 for all 19,608 records, same as Day 8. RPM is within range for entry the entire warm portion, so the RPM precondition is satisfied — something else (TPS state machine, “running” flag, or a dedicated CL-enable condition) is blocking engagement. Open-loop taper is doing the convergence job in the meantime, but closed-loop idle is required before adding VTEC and A/C loads.
No wideband — AFR channels not usable WBO controller reports firmware-unsupported status for the full log. This blocks VE table tuning and AFR verification. Installing and commissioning the wideband is the next required hardware step before any meaningful fuel tune changes can be validated.
