post your working cranking settings here :-)
i was thinking about my starting issues on my way into work this morning, and realized that unless something was mechanically wrong, my neon will start up nearly instantly in any weather, any time of day, etc etc etc... and so does almost every single factory car i have ever owned (except my old carburated dakota... but carbs... well... yeah... )
anyway, i thought it might be worth it to try and get a collection of cranking settings from miata people, and see if we can see who's using what, and what seems to be working reliably for people in cold weather, hot weather, etc...
part of me is just curious to see how much variation there is between working setups for people. the other part is wondering why we haven't figured out a "magic recipe" yet, that with some pretty small tweaks to account for SLIGHT variations from setup to setup, would more or less just work. though, maybe with all the variations in MS construction, differences in people's board mods, injector tolerances, etc... maybe all that variation adds up to making what i'm thinking not possible.
i know everyone's car is different, but at the same time, we're all running 1.6L or 1.8L miata motors with damn the same compression, and from a startup POV, only really changing the size of the injector.
if nothing else, i'm interested to see what variations people are using, since even just between my original settings and what i've seen in DIY's and Braineak's, there are three different combinations of the top section of "cranking settings" window dropdowns... that just seems... odd...

Agreed. Starting is the one area I'm really not happy with. Hot starts are fine (< 1hr cool down) and cold morning starts are fine but driving home for lunch and after work (~4 hour cool down) starting is horrible.
BTW, ASE used to be a problem for me but I mooched DIY's setting and they've worked pretty well.
I'm at work now, I'll post my setting tonight. MS2E uses percentage instead of milliseconds for cranking, though.

don't use mine, they were so low because of a leaky o-ring which dumped raw fuel into #4.
these are working for me with 460cc injectors. I could possibly go lower with the PWs, I need little to no fuel to start my thing.
