You guys have sluggishness and hesitation because you just try to take off normally. A quick BRAaaap or two of the throttle will disengage it, then just go as usual. Figured that out the first day it engaged.

Does the ACR open or are they just cutting the fuel?

As long as you aren't sitting in stop and go traffic (which I suspect you are not) or sitting at idle for long periods of time, it is unnecessary. As long as there is air flowing over the jugs to cool them there is no need for the system. But those of us that live in high traffic volume areas find it helpful.

I noticed when looking at my tune on computer that my EITMS on temp was 145 C and there is a EITMS off temp but it has no value My question is should there be a value there? Thanks
