Gentlemen:
The text below is taken verbatim from the JDHT for the 6.0L.
I have read and re-read multiple times, but have to admit –
I have no idea what they are trying to say.
Apologies for the ‘dumb’ question, but would someone be able
to provide the explanation in layman terms?—
Adaptive idle fueling trim
In order to ensure optimum performance throughout the life
of the vehicle, the fuel injection ECM software contains an
adaptive idle fueling function that automatically trims the
fuel injector idle pulse duration strategy. The total
available trim to the nominal injector pulse duration is +/-
20%. The function eliminates the manual adjustment of idle
trim. Adaptive fueling is performed by the ECM software only
when there are no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) present
and the following preconditions are met:
- Throttle closed
- Engine speed below 900 rpm
- Air injection disabled after engine start
- Closed loop fueling control enabled
If there are no DTCs present and the preconditions are met,
the ECM cancels purge flow and adapts the idle fueling.
Between fueling adaptations, there is a delay of approx. 8
minutes, during which the preconditions must be met. If the
preconditions are interrupted, the delay will be lengthened.
This is probably another futile attempt on my part to
(over)analyze the manual in an attempt to understand what
the 36CU does in the first few minutes after start-up.
So far I’ve learned that A) it does have 1 minute timer,
after which it switches form open to closed loop (#4 above);
B) stops secondary air-injection when the CTS read 47�C (#3
above).
If my interpretation of the last sentence is correct, this
would mean that approx. a minute after start-up, the ECU
‘adapts the idle fueling’ = cuts of the injector pulse? (if
not DTCs and if idle speed is 900 rpm and the gas pedal is
not touched).
Coincidentally, or perhaps not, 1-3 minutes after start-up
is the timeframe of my idle stumble issues detailed here:

Thanks much in advance for all responses,
