Warm up info

Post by Juliemac »

Its MS2 running a VW 2l 16v.
I have the car running perfectly at idle, afr, just a tad rich. But when starting the car using the numbers defaulted in the warm up wizard, it stalls and is REALLY lean.
If I richen it the last number (not 102) is about 115 and gets larger with lower temp.

Is this acceptable?

Ok. What I am asking is, should the car warm up lean or closer to stoich?
If lean it will warm faster, but will it damage the engine?

Bear in mind even a heated Lamda sensor doesn't read well until engine has warmed up
