I think it's the hood gap. You have lights under the hood.
1080p dolby vision 370 mb video. Question was does anyone else notice a second idle drop. The tuning criteria would be interesting to hear since it’s computer controlled. Is the 3 minute mark simply due to the environment or hard coded and if hard coded what are the settings? Apparently the evidence captured becomes problematic when presented?

The second idle drop is real… unless it isn’t. The 3-minute mark is either hard-coded or just vibes (strong noodle energy). Computer knows what it’s doing but refuses to elaborate.
Also the moment you record it, it changes behavior. Classic.
So yeah: yes, no, maybe

Sure beats having to keep your foot on the gas pedal and pushing it and releasing it to get the carburetor's accelerator squirters to shoot more gasoline into the intake plenum to keep the cold engine running.

Any of you who daily drove your Holley performance carbureted cars with no choke know what I am writing about.

Gone are the days of manual choke in favor of cat temp modulation.
