• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

high idle on cold start

my Terra idles quite high (2800-3000rpm) for the first two or three seconds on cold start when ambient temperature is below say 15C (60F) then drops to below 2000 and then settles at 1600. I don't remember that high initial idle from before the ECU reflash. When i do a adaption reset and rebuild, it doesn't do it for the first few cold starts but then goes back to that behavior.

Just wondering if others observe this too.
 
I had similar behavior. Over several weeks of use it seems to have decreased and starts mostly normally now — at least normal enough that it doesn’t concern me, but still is subtly different than before the reflash. It seemed to help when I did extended first gear idle crawling, like very slow putting around on trails, or like when I just idled around a cemetery once. I suspect it had something to do with certain adaptations not getting built correctly.
 
thanks. I guess things will improve once it warms up again down here. Just bothers me that the cold engine revs higher than necessary.

Regarding the stalling you mentioned on advrider: my Terra tends to have slight hick-ups in idle when the fuel level is low. In the meantime i can almost predict when the fuel light will come on just by this behavior. It's not really bad and it does not stall, just occasionally misses a beat. I guess the fuel pump sucks in air when the fuel swaps around in the tank. I may need to position it deeper.
