Default 06 STR Stumbles at idle soon after cold start

just finished replacing infamous heater hose and replaced at the same time:
fuel injectors,
plugs
all gaskets down to heads
knock sensors
vacuum lines/o-rings
fuel filter
supercharger pump
cleaned connector corrosion
power steering hose to cooler
RCCM
supercharger oil
supercharger pulley

reset the adaptations and the modules using v130.03 SDD

Car runs great b ut immediately after starting the idle quality goes to **** for maybe 15 secvonds then clears up and idles fine.

Any ideas? I will try and get a video

How much have you driven the car since resetting the adaptations? I thought it typically took several days for the computer to properly relearn everything.

Give it a chance for trims to settle - don't clear anything or disconnect the battery.

Get engine hot then park.

See what LTFTs & STFTs are (at idle).

If it's relearned, STFTs should be near zero.

In case any LTFT is not within (say) 5 of zero, rev to 2500 and see what the LTFTs are.

As everyone has said give the PCM and associated modules to "learn", typically 50 to 150 miles of assorted driving. (City/Highway)

If you cleared adaptations on TCM avoid sports mode.

Ok so after a day of driving it seems to have cleared up Thanks all! No more stumble.

I do have a MIL lit so I will check that and ny STFT and LTFT when I get home tonight.

Oh and the divers side low beam headlight stopped working today. Thought I fixed it but it went out as I was adjusting it. I will make a new post
