    Default VS Series III V8

    Hi guys, have recently changed intake from a crappy K&N filter back to the factory airbox. The ute has been running the K&N for some time with the Air Temp Sensor unplugged. I modified the air box lid to accommodate the new air temp sensor, as the airbox I bought did not have one. Now, when you start it, when cold, it runs rough (like a lumpy cam) for about 15 seconds. Is there anything someone can recommend to stop it from doing that or is it a matter of waiting for the new sensor and computer to settle with each other again?
    Cheers

    Id start by checking for any logged error codes. If you dont know how,check out the link below, its easy and only takes a minute or two.. I had a problem a while back with my VSV6, was getting a very rough idle, but only on cold startup, it turned out to be the cannister purge solenoid was faulty.I guess the V8 would also have one.

    Checking error codes VR/VS (Revised)
