I know a few of us have reported puffs or clouds of white smoke from the exhaust when starting up the car with TracKey, specifically while at the track and idling for cool-down after a track session.
I have experienced this on multiple occasions after a 5-10 minute cool-down idle, then shutting the car down and letting it sit until the next session (typically 1-2 hours) then re-starting with TK.
I surmised this may be due to the TK idle, so during my last track event I disabled the TK idle feature each time I started the car. I did not experience any smoke/cloud on startup that weekend. So for track use, I will continue to disable the TK idle.
This is accomplished by holding down the "OFF" button on the steering wheel while starting the car, and continuing to hold it until the tach sweeps to 9K RPM and then back to idle. This will prevent the car from going into "lumpy idle mode" and you will no longer see the "TracKey Engine/Idle Enabled" message in the message center. All other features of the TK will still work properly.
