I forgot to mention the ELR unplug test. I did unplug the ELR plug while running at just under 80c temp. The RPM's dropped from 600 to 500. It stayed running, and still smooth idle. Not as smooth as 600 RPM idle, because so low I guess. I also started the car cold with ELR unplugged, amazingly it idled smooth at about 400 RPM's, untill it died. It ran for a minute or two, before it died, this with my foot not on throtle . It seems the ELR system IS raising the idle. But is it raising it enough. Or is this a engine condion issue? One other thing I might add on that note. On cold start, I have to hold down on the throtle a little to keep it running. I do get exhaust smoke with some blue in it. It's hard to keep it at a spot idled up without the turbo taking up the RPM's. That blue smoke is not too unexpected on cold starting a engine with 229,xxx miles ? Thanks again, Charlie
