Built a sweet 2002 Firebird with PRC heads, FAST intake and fairly strong cam. Dyno tuning went well and this baby cranks out about 525 HP. Driveability in closed loop was pretty decent even though owner couldn't afford a new torque converter so normal big cam, small converter issues. Two lingering problems:
1. Really ragged, surging cold start idle. Tried all the normal stuff with spark & fuel but couldn't get it to settle down. Noticed that it started up reasonably well but after less than a minute it went into this big surge. Often stalled several times. Had to just sit there and wait till it warmed up enough to settle down and drive away. Figured out that the surging started when it went into closed loop and the O2s just weren't ready. Increased the closed loop delay long enough for it to warm up sufficiently and problem went away.
2. Problem we're still having is sort of a throttle hang-up. Take your foot off the gas at 50-60 mph and it just keeps going like it's on cruise control. RPM very slowly decays but can go a mile or more down the road before it really starts to slow down. Occasionally see the same thing in neutral when you give the throttle a blip and kick it up to 2000-2500 rpm. Just sits there for 30 seconds or more before it starts to come down and often hangs up around 1300 or so without returning to normal idle. No mechanical issues that we've found.
Most of our work is with the Gen 5 so not a lot of experience with these older cars. Any thoughts or help? Tune file attached.
