Cobb AP question.
I just did the install on my car for my AP. During step 6 it says to drive the car to get it to operation temperature for a few minutes. It didnt say to data log anything, is there anything I was supposed to do (other than drive it)?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I assume you are referencing MazdaManiac's procedure.
It also says in step #6:
The next procedure is for data logging.
Read Jeff's first post thoroughly (again, assuming you are going off of his procedure):

It also says in step #6:
Allow your RX-8 to cool for at least 8 hours and repeat this drive cycle again, allowing the engine to cool completely before proceeding.

I usually let it sit there for 20 min the first time. When I don't on maps V4_0_1 or higher my car will stall while I'm driving around and will not idle on restart unless I reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery.
After your first drive cycle, let the car sit for at least 8 hours and do the same thing again. You need at least two drive cycles before your car will be ready to log.

Your car still needs to run so the PCM can learn the fuel trims.
It can't learn just by sitting idle.
Just like any other time, allow the car to warm up before running it hard.
When I'm about to do do my log, I just start the car and drive.
The car is warmed-up enough by the time I reach the stretch of road I use to do my logs.

You're probably right though. 20 min is probably overkill, but I just want to be sure I don't stall again when driving.

Plugs are new. Everything checked out okay.
Did some searching and very few cars have this problem with the Accessport (including a few WRX's). I just have a slow learning ECU.
No worries though so long as I let it idle. Just sent my logs in for V4_0_3. My car has never run better. Almost scared to switch to a new map.
How's it working out for you?

4.0.6? Damn. haha. You don't waste any time. That's awesome! Proabably the best $700 I spent so far. Just glad my car survived the Emangle Ultimate.
