Angry -30 Deg. C Coming and Programmer Ditched My High Idle!

Ok, so I got my truck in the spring and "needed" to use my high idle a few times. Worked fine.

This summer I got my DiabloSport programmer, punched in level II and now that the cold weather is on the way...no high idle!

What's up with that?! Did they "forget" us Canadians, eh?! [laugh

Anyone else lose their high idle with the DiabloSport (or any other) programmer?

the diablo more than likely erased the high idle setting. I had it happen to me once after the dealer did a flash on mine. (smarty was removed). picked up my truck and tested everything out and high idle no workie. told my service adviser it was turned on before I brought it in and he had a tech come out and enable it really quick.

My suggestion to you would be to put it back to stock. Have a friend with a Smarty unprogram there truck and program yours. Then program yours back to stock. The high idle will continue to work. After all this is done, ditch the Diablo.

It's the high idle you set with cruise control. The automatic works normal. Hmm...just to make sure, what is the cruise control sequence?

I think I lost my automatic high Idle with the new smarty update. It was 20 when I got off work and I had to idle it up with the manual high idle.

Yeah, tested setting the high idle with cruise control...definately gone! The engine still idles itself up normally though. I guess I'll go back to the stock program until this weather passes.
