This is the most time consuming and difficult part to get right. Getting power is easy ..LOL

Its also the hardest to measure as you would need to data log the whole warm up cycle so you could make adjustments.
Doing it live is a bit hit or miss as your engine is warming up as you make adjustments !!!

I would start by taking off a small percentage (say 10%) of each value in the cranking table and wait till next time its cold and see if it starts nicely on the first start.


yeah i can see why some tuners dont wanna bother with doing the cold stuff lol
like i said in first post, you only get one go at it per day! lol
