Default Starting problem

Well, I have this problem:
1) I have to give it a little throttle when cranking, otherwise it wont start.

2) When cold I need to crank for about 10 seconds before it starts firing.

3) Once it start firing if I don't accelerate it immediately shuts off. It starts and shuts down in a second.

I've messed with everything related to cranking and after start stuff but cant get it right, would you guys help me. Maybe post your cranking settings please.
I got to the point were everything else is almost good (ve table - afrs) and the car runs pretty good but the starting problems I just cant fix.
Thank you

fast idle threshold: 200 F ???

granted you have a 1.6 vs my 1.8 but think your cranking pulsewidths, ASE, and warm up enrichments may be a lil off for 460s. mine are:



someone else with a 1.6 with 460's can chime in.

NOTE:
i didn't tune the cranking settings below 40F because i don't run that car when it's that cold so ignore those defaults

Yea, FAST IDLE THRESHOLD is at 200F. Should I lower it to 185 or something like that?

Those values would flood my engine but thanks, are those the values that come with MSPNP? they look similar.
Paul, what's your fast idle threshold?
