the old engine and the engine currently in my s4 vert have done this...maybe cuz the aws has been removed and it tries to warm up at 1500 rpms

u hear is a prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr brap brap prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr brap prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr brap prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

then when it gets warmed up itll be fine

i havent been around any other N/As warming up except mine so i figured it was normal if the old and new engine do the same thing

my fault.....it is a purrrrrrrrrrr put put prrrrrrrrrrrrr sound lol

brap would be some serious loud misfire with flames lol

im assuming its just the internals building compression or it runs rich or something in the warming up process?

TPS is key... Vac. leak is also another 'pulsing' thing.
