Find out how long it takes to recover from "open-loop" on re-start. I use the 10-second rule for newer fuel-injected vehicles (without fancy idle-emission controls). I let the TSX idle for a 20-second target because the variable cam timing reduces idle emissions and fuel consumption when stopped (no EGR system).
Back to the topic...
Awesome! Great plate. Great idea. Of all of the ridiculous plate varieties I've seen in many states, this one actually has some merit.
