245 correct idle after start but high after use 200 1992

Oh, I remember the polar part of your login name despite my general ignorance of the European market for Volvos. Seems I read somewhere that 2000cc was a taxing cutoff for engine displacement having a large impact.

Yes, the LH2.4 ECU does an instant reset of learned trim when the power is removed but to characterize the difference between the baseline and the trim learned depends on the individual car. For example, the trim adjustment makes up for intake leaks, throttle plate wear, cylinder wear, long term fuel pressure changes, and compression changes due to soot buildup. The combination would be different individually. I've noticed in one example, after a reset, the engine stalled before I got out of the driveway.

Idle speed shouldn't vary at all, I think, given a properly operating TPS (here in the States you'd probably have LH3.1 with an M47 in '92), a correctly adjusted throttle plate stop, a clean idle air valve, and of course, the VSS present. And there's nothing I know about the trim adjustment the ECU makes after a reset that would purposely set the idle higher.

I could guess that a throttle plate stop adjustment problem could lead to enough extra air that the idle valve's correction ability would be out of range, and that could show up after the motor was warm. Turning the key off and restarting would not change that condition, like it does with a missing VSS. And you've already discounted any dependence on warm up or temperature.

If I read your post carefully, especially the part about the signal to your new IAC being different during the malfunction, I'd be inclined to suggest you try to find another fuel ECU to try. You seem to have done your homework. Curious about this; which one is it? I'm only familiar with -933, -951, -561 versions of LH2.4. Maybe one designed for the B200F has a different way to deal with changes to idle speed. Assuming the signal change you see toward the IAC is increased duty cycle, by how much?
