well, I have never actually had to tune my cold start settings before since until now the entire time I was using MS I lived in FL, and it never got cold enough to be an Issue, now I live in TN though and of course I have hard starting when it gets below 50 degrees, so I was wondering if there was a formula to make this easy for me or if its going to be a tedious trial and error thing, I guess if a couple of you posted your cold start settings along with injector type I might be able to figure out what mine should be
well, I have stage 0 injectors right now....but by playing with fuel pressure I can get them to flow enough to pass as stage 1s(for testing until I actually pick up a set of 750s)
how is that starting? i have shitty 19llbers and i cant get the settings right...even though i havent worked on it in a while because im at school and my cars not, but i will be switching to s1 when schools over in mid december
well, I found out most of my hard starting was actually caused by a melted ground battery terminal!(how that happened I have no idea, but it starts a bit better now)
I have my cold starts pretty good. I can go out right now and start the car and have it run. It hasnt been started for little over a month now.
Also it has 1000cc injectors in it.
All my grounds are fine, but mine is a nightmare(10seconds) to start. Just never got any training on what to try and set my stuff as. I have 750cc injectors set to a static 43psi.
It's definately not rocket science. You just have to find the right combination of fuel for the mass of air going into the engine. It takes a lot of experimentation to get it right....
Mine works pretty well and I'm quite a bit richer than that, but I'm burning ethanol, so I'm playing a different game, and it sucks to start even if I had the perfect settings.
Hey, what are all of you .org'ers doing over here?!?!?!?
This type of discussion, along with one about my 4k hiccup are what I was hoping to have over there, and here it is all going on over here on the SRT-4 forum. . . What gives?
Anyway, I'm having a heck of a time getting the afterstart enrichment, warmup enrichment, first start enrichment, and fixed afterstart enrichment period working together so that I can get a single start when the CLT is below about 35F. From what I can tell so far, down to about 40-45F, it's not rocket science. . . . Colder than that, it just might be rocket science!
Anyone else deal with temps that cold and have a factory-like startup on the first start?
Thanks, and glad to find the location of the real tuning discussions!
I only have one map that will even start. I think I'm going to burn out my starter and/or battery cranking it all day for it to finally start. I even have to give it a little throttle for it to turn over.

I farted once and the PCM pulled timing on me until i rolled down the window... so go figure...
What is the significance of the A/F for the equation? Is it asking the highest, lowest, or average A/F I want to run or what? I don't get it, so I've generally put in 12:1 cause I know that its safe.
not sure about the a/f but i know that the stock ecu gets confused with the iac and messes things up and it would be easier to hook it up the ms to start it. i will probably be doing that in maybe 2 weeks when i get a chance
