I am currently using closed loop idle because it seems to be a little more stable, but when I started the car this morning, the faster warmup idle was not working. Is there anything that i missed? Isn't that the purpose of open loop?
I know you think it works better in closed but if you don't start with open and have it stable there closed will just fight itself with any change in temp or engine operation.. Tune it in open that's all I use and my car has a pretty close factory idle. Check out diyautotune.com tech articles there's is a lot of easy to understand help there!
