Re: My Herky Jerky Cav!

Cars run in a "closed loop" mode when cold, meaning they only receive info from a certain amount of sensors. Once the car warms, it goes into "open loop" where it receives signals from all sensors, and the computer tweaks everything to perfection.

I could have the loops backwards, but you get the idea.

Something in the "cold run" loop seems to be out of whack. That`s where I`d start.

Can anyone help me expand on this?
