That code sets when the ECM does not detect that the vehicle has warmed up in the proper amount of time. It suprises me that that code did not set before. Tune the code out and be done with it.

Why don't you put the 160 back in and have Wheatley make the necessary adjustments...I'm curious what changes get made, maybe run a little more timing, change fan settings if running efans, soften up or delete a few codes. I wonder if the cold enrichment strategy has to be altered?

I read online that Vinci does not recommend even running the cooler thermostat. He says the motor will never get hot enough to vaporize the condensation that builds in the motor. This can damage bearings over time. I switched back to stock due to the fact a hotter lean engine is better on gas when properly tuned.
