AEM cold start tested today - AcuraLegend.Org - The Acura Legend Forum for All Generations of the Honda / Acura Legend; 1986 to Present

Hi today I was able to test my AEM cold start setting at 40 degrees or so and it work, after setting there for few days it started on the first try, I had tested it on warmer temps and it work fine, hope temps get lower to keep testing it but I consider it a success since this is one of the main complaints about AEM.

^ When you swap your stock ECU for the aftermarket AEM ECU is very common to have "cold start" issues and very hard to get it right since to do it, you need to make adjustments every morning so you only have one try a day if you try more "tries" you going to have fouled plugs.

Usually tuners don't get right cause they only have the car for a day session.
