Mine starts at 385 and goes fairly linearlly down to 100 at 235*f

Wouldn't that mean a whole lot more fuel?
I have 650s, btw. |
So? Its in % of.

well he aint having any luck now :)

Cranking twice to start it from completely cold means that may have to add/remove 10-15% fuel, not 300-400%.

This is america, go big or go home!
|
Even at $4 per gallon?
|
especially then! You gotta spend money frivilously like Greece in order to make yourself a super power.

By being forced to buy US, German and French planes, submarines and boats by using money we are given as stimulus, right?

Also, Dimitris, there is a "cranking episode" in the log I sent you, as well. (At the very beginning.) |
In that log, the engine starts (RPM > 900) in 0.8 seconds.
|
OK, I bumped the cranking PW by about %15-20 across the board, and it made a visible difference.
I will add another %10 and try it one more time. (Now that the engine is cold again) Oh, I never see the MIL coming on. Isn't it supposed to? |
Very cool progress!
Increasing fuel by another %10 made it better. And, increasing cranking advance from 6 to 12 degrees made it perfect! |

Here is the final version of my cranking table:
(with 12 degrees of cranking advance) |
You don't want that much advance during cranking as you may kick back the starter.
|
Hmm. The car seems to love it, tho.
I'll try it a couple more times before I bump it down. |
If you don't have a problem with starting, then leave it as is. However, my experience with 10* of cranking advance is that it randomly kicks the starter back. It depends on your actual cranking speed etc. For example it happens a lot more if your battery is not 100% up to the job.
|
I understand completely.
I have quite a bit of hands on experience on engines, especially ignition and engine management systems, and bumping the advance has always proved a better starting scheme for me. What I don't understand is the negative prop I have received for reporting that increased pw indeed helped starting the engine, a couple posts ago... |

Btw, do you actually have a check engine light on your gauge cluster? |
