This morning was particularly cold, my girlfriend went to go start her car for work, and it hunted pretty badly it seemed. I adjusted the FITV previously after cleaning it a month or so ago.
The question is, is it a better idea to adjust the FITV when the ambient/outdoor temperature is at its coldest? Say, winter, or night-time in fall/spring? (To me it would make sense considering it's for cold starts (?)
I'm asking because I adjusted it in the summer, I'm assuming that's where I went wrong. I did it with a cold engine (if I can remember right) while it hunted and tightened it down till it stopped hunting, it wasn't super tight but nice and snug. The ambient temperature was likely in mid to high sixties ( I did it early in the morning.)
Advice appreciated, I've cleaned the IACV as well too.
