I'm very new to this programmable ecu thing so I need to ask the brains trust.
I've spent a lot of time getting the hot start and idle straightened out and I'm happy with that. Engine pops to life straight away and settles to idle at about 850/900rpm with timing hovering around 24 degrees before top dead. The weather was warmer then and ECT was usually around 20 degrees C or warmer (68 degrees F) in the morning. I've got the cold start ok from there right up to 85 deg C (185 F).
It's much colder now in the morning, maybe 0-5 deg C (30-40 F) and it's pretty grumpy to try and start. Need to use the pedal and that's cheating. I've tried changing settings in crank enrichment and post start enrichment (it doesn't make it to warm up enrichment yet) but no luck so far. I haven't tried adjusting the timing trim for ECT yet and it's all zeros. Where should I start with that? Or are there other more important things I should be trying?
My car has a stock B230FT with a Link ECU, stock A cam, 820cc injectors and all the YoshiFab ECU parts on there. Fuel is pump 98 RON.
