Hi -
I've got a bit of a problem with heat soak - when I restart the car after a shortish stop (5 to 20 minutes) the engine runs lean until I've been moving for a few minutes. By lean, I mean AFR 16 - 18 where normally it'd be 14.0 to 14.5 at idle.
Normally, my FPR regulates at 46 psi, but when I have this lean problem, my FPR is regulating at 43psi, so I guess that explains why it goes lean. I'm not sure if the problem is the consequence of hot fuel in the FPR, or a hot FPR per se.
How would you address this?
A better FPR?
relocate FPR?
Fuel cooler?
Fuel temperature compensation in Speeduino? (which doesn't exist yet, AFAIK)
TIA
