Unstable Idle cold start- Feels like a misfire?
Hey Guys,
Past 2 days starting the car in the AM or after sitting for extended period of time... the RPMs do not hold steady. Slight rev, and it kinda bogs up and down a little. I'm thinking something is mis-firing. Running Dinan Stg. 2/ Exhaust. No Codes, or really any loss of power that I can notice. I'm on a new HPFP every 10K- so this is my third. Car has 25.5K. I drive to NYC every day recently. Think I may try a bottle of Techron see if it helps. Anyone ever experience this?

This seems to be a common trend right now in the community. I felt like I was having misfires recently because my RPM was bouncing from 600-1200 on a cold start. I did throw a bottle of Techron in and it did "seem" to work, the bouncing RPM are no longer there. Back in the fall when it was getting cold out, I did have misfires however! RPM were really bouncing in the morning, thew a 1/2 engine light, and a bunch of misfire codes. The dealer replaced my injectors and that fixer her all up.

I get the same thing. Mine sits for weeks before it is driven once. I do get a misfire from mine. There were acouple times that I've jumped into the car and noticed limp mode lamp illuminated.

Update:
So I got an ultimate car wash from my friend @ 5 corners in New Hyde Park, Long island. Was so excited to take my daily commute to NYC- freakin car wash gleamin- spray wax etc., first time since the fall. Bounced on to the highway 2nd- 3rd. Hit 85mph half power- check engine comes on. So I go straight to the dealer, hop in a loaner waiting to hear back. This happen to you guys? Its been feeling kinda slugish in general, bottle of Techron did not do much. BTW- Loaner is AW e90 LCI 335. My SA is awesome!

I got the 1/2 engine light but I was only crusing around my neighborhood, hope you get it fixed soon. My SA always gets me a 335, but they never compare to your own car! I wonder if everyone beats the sh*t out of it like I do

I Have the same issue... injector replaced on cyl 6, still the same....
What they did for me to try to fix the issue: -New HPFP -Spark plugs -Ignition coils - New Injector on cylinder 6 The cold start issue is still there..... They state that is caused by the fact that the engine is running too rich while cold start / idle....

Update:
All six injectors, plugs replaced, and software update. Leavin Dinan out for a few hundred miles to make sure it is not the cause.
