Cold Idle Kicker

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup, 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2012 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The cold idle kicker strategy provides an increase in idle speed during cold engine warm up. The powertrain control module (PCM) uses the engine oil temperature (EOT) sensor input and adjusts the RPM accordingly, to a maximum of 1, 175 RPM.
