20 second stumble on cold start 2018 STi
Hi all, trying to help a friend out. He has a 2018 sti that he purchased new. At about 5k miles he had the following mods installed by a reputable local tuner.
-dom3.5xtr, ID1050cc, AEM 320lph, aero FPR, iag rails and lines, cobb sf intake, perrin inlet, ets tmic, hks elh, cobb tbe. On pump 93. Initially there was an issue post install of this cold start (sitting overnight) where it starts fine and idles for about 20 seconds nice and smooth, then stumbles bad for roughly 20sec until it smooths out again and will remain fine for the rest of the day. Even if it sits for 8hrs. The boost controller was also loose flapping under the alternator cover and the outlet to the recirculating valve was crushed so his driveability was horribly considering there was little to no function of the recirc valve. He brought it back to the original builder/tuner only to be told everything is fine and the stumble is normal, just hit the gas a little. After talking him into bringing it to another shop, this time outside of RI, they found those issues and retuned the car to a safer level putting the fail safes and knock sensor back on. The issue is still present. I tried taking a video which doesnt fully capture just how bad it shakes but you can get the idea. Like I said once it does it once it is fine starting the rest of the day. https://youtu.be/IWTGKxBMxjM

Mine did this this morning, it actually stalled. Barely started doing it when it got really cold, im running E85 though. Took 3 cranks to get it going, but I havent gotten the cold start revised yet.
I found out my BPV was staying open at idle, so thats the only thing I have fixed so far on the car. |

I have the same issue. It’s when the rear 02 sensor turns on and the fueling trims go nuts. It only takes a few seconds for it to properly adjust.
At the moment there is no fix from what I believe. I worked with a few tuners who told me this. |

I didn't think it would. Whether the BPV is open or not, the air that's being drawn in is still being metered by the MAF.

I wonder if these tuners have though to disable any rear O2 influence to see what happens. Cobb has a tech article on how to "delete rear O2" if it's the rear O2 that's causing issues.

Can you log it? How are your long term fuel trims? It sounds like it's running rich, then it starts correcting it overcorrects and goes lean, and takes a while to find stoich.

If you guys are in Rhode Island i wouldnt take that car to anyone else but Matt Miner aka Subaru Jesus, I have never heard of him having any issue but if one did arrive post tune, he wouldn't stop fixing it until it was right. I don't have Facebook anymore but i know he is on a group called Masssubaru, look him up cuz i know he'll even try to figure out what's wrong with it now, even if he didn't do the first tune. Probably one of if not the best Subaru tuner in our area tbh. |

Yours must be different. His is only on first cold start of the day sometimes not every day it stumbles for a brief period.

TGV Deletes can sometimes cause cold start issues, Mine would start and idle fine, but once the coolant temp hit a certain value and the enrichment lowered it would stumble a bit. I just kept the same warm up enrichment for one more cell and it solved it. Not the exact same situation, but perhaps somewhere to start.
It can be a hard issues to track down because it only happens in the particular situation. |

Sounds like the issue I have with my 17. My issue happens exactly 20 seconds after the car starts (cold starts only), but the issue clears up after 2-3 seconds every time. Car goes really lean, and it shoves the RPM's up to compensate.
At first, I thought it was related to the TGV's, however, we did some logs, and the tune shows that the TGV ratio remains the same. My current tuner said it was related to me removing the air pump, but that doesn't make much sense to me, unless that's when the car would normally be turning the air pump off (if it were equipped), and when it does that, it would expect less air, and thus provide less fuel. In either case, I would have expected my tuner to be knowledgeable of this, considering air pumps have been being removed for for how many years on these cars. After 3 revisions, even though the issue was getting better, it was still unresolved. I've since scheduled a tune with another tuner. I'm hopeful they will be able to fix this issue once and for all. |

yup thats what mine does, but dips a tiny bit more. Oddly enough it didnt dip this morning, and I KNOW my vacuum line is torn really bad right now, so I guess its not related. |

I took another video (quite a lot more stutter like your suggesting) and log. Going to be sending those out again to try and identify something. |
