Breakout Heat Question

I've got a '16 Breakout and have noticed the following: twice when riding in town on a fairly warm day I got stopped at a traffic light, the engine all of a sudden seemed to idle differently. When I gave it just a slight twist of the throttle, the engine sounded off just a bit. Does the '16 103 engine have some sort of engine hot mode that would make it run a bit off ? It runs just fine after getting air flow over the engine after leaving the lights. any thoughts are appreciated.

There is an idle temperature management system. The default mode is off though.

It basically turns off the rear port injector and turns it into an air pump.

The EITMS is likely on.

The EITMS is on, with my 16 Deluxe with the ignition on and the cruise control off you roll the throttle to the stop (clockwise) and hold it, the cruise light will flash 3 times: amber is off green is on.

So no harm being done to the engine if the EITMS kicks in ? It didn't do this once last season and only twice this year after installing a Fuelpak 3 map suggested by V&H.

I read a thread some time ago about someone who had had his EITMS turned off and somehow was turned on. The only thing they could come up with was maybe the fuelpack did it. Best suggestion was to email V&H support and see if they're the culprit.

The original poster in that thread I don't think ever came back to report what V&H said.

I'm curious to know if the FP3 did it too.

To the OP - try putting it in ACC mode, then advancing the throttle to the stop and holding it there for 5 seconds, and watching the cruise control dash light. If it flashes orange then you've just turned off the EITMS. If that doesn't work try the same thing in the RUN position. If it works, re-enabling EITMS uses the same routine, but the cruise light will flash green.
