Tazer

[ArmyMP]

Anyone know if it would be possible to set a remote start high idle with a tazer? Something like 2k-2200?

Or maybe even use tazer as a turbo timer?

Taking a look through my Tazer as well as the documentation, the closest feature it has to this is Winch Mode. However, the truck needs to be on before you can get to that menu item. Doesn't look like it has the capability to engage that without human input currently.

They may be able to add it into one of their firmware updates, assuming the Tazer is able to detect a remote start vs. a standard start cycle. You could always reach out to them directly to ask if it would even be possible.

No and no.

Question - why? Just curious as I tried to think - what would be a good reason to start an engine and instantly jump up to 2,000 rpm........... with me not being there.....

You likely know that instantly going to RPM that high on a cold start is bad.

Even in the days of carburetion I'd never set my own cars up as high as specs stated.
(best warm up is a load, driving)

Anyway, like the others have said - the vehicle has to be started before Tazer can function.

Because diesel fuel doesn't burn as well at low idle speeds and are prone to wet stacking. Too much idle /wet stacking can lead to dieseling(aka runaway motor).

Dieseling = big problem

Diesel motors also wear 2x faster at a low idle.

High idle could also be used as a sitting forced regen.

Right, but diesels don't truly warm up internally until under some load. So running at high RPM while will reduce carbon build up and reduce the unburned fuel that happens at low RPM - it would seem that running it fast on remote start is also accomplishing little. They'll run cold then, too.
I can recall my diesel tractors - in the winter I'd start them and let them run a minute or two to get oil to where it was needed and right away start working them. I could start one of those tractors, set the speed up and go in for a cup of coffee and the danged thing still wouldn't be warm until I started working it.

Every diesel I have had warmed up better?? With a high idle start. They generally warm up better/faster under a 2k idle load. Best way I know to see this is start a diesel in the cold and watch thr white smoke. It lasts a lot longer under normal idle vs high idle. White smoke = unburned fuel.

Especially in the winter.

My 6.7 Cummins motorhome has a fast idle feature. Have to use the cruise control button to set it.

The white smoke most likely is moisture in the exhaust evaporating. Then evaporating in the air.

A white start on a diesel on a cold morning is unburnt fuel. Smell it some time.

Haven't had my JTRD long enough. But I've had 12v,24v, 6.0, 6.4,idi and nav 7.3 and even a chevy 350 diesel.

They all dump unburnt fuel longer at a low idle less at a high idle. And warm up twice as fast.

I've been around diesels a long time. You ain't telling me nothing new.
