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?

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...
