Default Cold Start Crank, with video!

Here's my video of my car sitting in the garage, cold. I datalogged the crank / startup. When it cranks, it cranks for a bit, then it sounds like it wants to catch. I just keep on the key and a second or 2 later it'll start right up. Please give me some opinions, I'm not sure if it's getting too much fuel, or not enough.

I'm just saying, it starts up decent. I just feel it can be cleaned up. Notice how it cranks and kicks like it wants to start, but then it takes another second to actually fire up? I want to work that out.

adjust the values up in the map at that particular CLT value. stop once it starts better.

Why isn't your AFR reading in tunerstudio?

I noticed a big difference in starting when I adjusted the cranking dwell for my Cops. Down to 5ms, I think. You may want to check the cranking dwell settings for your coils. Cranking rpm might also play a role.

Your starter or battery seem weak.
