Yes Full throttle is always the best test. When you are at 100% throttle a lot of adaptation disappears.

I'm reposting this question because I'm worried it will get lost on the end of the 2nd page. I apologize in advance but I am just extremely curious as to the cold/hot variations of this car. Thanks!
Hello all, quick update and yet another question:
I've put on about 3000 km since I left Squamish, the car still runs very poorly when cold (knocks, stumbles/hesitates), but appears to be running 100% once warmed up to operating temperature. I checked the fuel filter around 2000 km ago and there were more metal flecks.
Can someone help me understand why the car runs fine once warmed up? It is my understanding that small metal particles from the HPFP are getting into the injectors and causing misfueling which results in the knocking and hesitating, but why is this only the case when the car is cold? I just drove 10.5 hours back to Squamish and once I'm on the highway I forgot about how big of a POS this car is.
Thanks for the potential explanation, that does make logical sense to me.Because when you are working with compression ignition, a hot engine can handle poorly atomized fuel much better than a cold engine. Thats one possible reason for your possible problem.
