EFI Cold Start Maps?
I had to abort a day at the track, towed all the way there and she wouldnt start for anything. This has been a problem before.
Today I progressively tested increasing cranking fuel settings by 10% throughout the day with no success. Temps were between 5 deg C and 10 deg C, I left 30 mintues between each attempt to let the cylinders clear and charge the battery. I logged every attempt but no joy. Anyone running EFI willing to post their cranking fuel maps? I'm super frustrated...2 hours tow in each direction, plus 8 hours today = no joy. If you dont have a map to post, if you know % increase in fuel from hot starts for cold starts that would be helpful too. Thanks John

on a 50* cold start i'm around 20% more fuel. Be careful, non start when cold doesn't always mean lack of fuel..... did you try to flood clear it? ie: throttle at WOT while cranking. That typically cuts off the injectors so you can crank the engine over to clear out a flooded condition

Thanks for that, I'm surprised how low your enrichment is. I started at 100% more than the idle pulsewidth and kept increasing in 10% increments from there. I regularly did as you suggest, starting ending each attempt with a WOT floodclear for 2-3 seconds. My ECU is also set to automatically floodclear every 14th unsuccessful cranking event...
It starts OK in warm weather (70 degrees F) with 14ms pulsewidth, which is ~100% more than the cold idle pulsewidth (idle waries between 4ms and 7ms depending on temps)

As I am not finished with fine tuning, it will make no sense to post my setup, but I can tell you I am about 200% of the value at cold start, like this:
Value injection at 1000rpm: 60 Temp fuel value at 5°C: 65 Start value at 5°C 10 Total amount then: 135 I can post my whole map if needed... it runs well but needs still a bit fine tuning.

Hi,
Last weekend temps, my cranking is just under 300% and afterstart enrichment is about 40%. Dave |

Guys,
This is exactly what I am looking for, thanks. If you are willing to post screenshots of your posts or more datapoints like those then please so. Thanks!

What kind of EFI are you using? Megasquirt, SDS,...?
I will post my table this evening (Here in Switzerland), when I am back at home. For you it will be late afternoon ![]()

Thanks. Its Adaptronic.
My post-start enrichment seems right, the problem is getting it to catch at anything less than tropical conditions.

Awesome. Here are my current ones, I'll do some contrast and compare. Thanks guys!
Main corrections menu ![]() Cranking corrections table...weird curve here because I was only fooling with the corrections at the ambient watertemp, which was about 7 degrees Celcius. This is towards the end of the day, I have worked up from 100% extra fuel to 210% extra fuel at the current temp. Yeah, I know it ways Water Temp but fear not, it is Oil Temps, as it should be ;=) ![]() And finally a screenshot of a log of an unsuccessful starting try...I highlighted the rows where the starter was engaged... ![]() Anyone else who wants to post their enrichments or tables is formally and cordially invited!

Fletcher, that's a very useful, thanks. I see NE CT, where? I grew up in Marlborough.
Roland, our cars have some very similar parameters. We're both aircooler 911s with ~3.4L, intercooler boosted and running 55lb injectors. I am not familiar with your tables, could you translate those to what your pulsewidths are at say 32F (0C) 60F (15C) and 77F (30C)? Are your fuel pressures ~40psi? Dr, do I understand you right that you run 20% more fuel at 50 degrees F during cranking? Thanks guys

here is my cranking table. note the drastic drop off around 90*, that is when my warm up valve closes

I don't know pulse width as I don't use them, but tabe is structured like this:
Value 0 = 0% Value 255 = 100% This is only for one parameter, not duty cycle of injector! There are following parameters which end in the total amount of fuel: rpm's MAP (pressure) Engine temp Air temp (given by ECU, should not be changed) Start temp (additional fuel when starting for choosen cycles) Fuel pressure is 3bar=43psi When you look at my table then, you get a total of (0°C air and engine temp): 67+46+75+33+89=310 Here table and temp chart: ![]() ![]()

Roland, any idea how to access the air temp map in the SDS? I thought it was hard coded in for their GM sensor. Would like to change mu table as it runs lean after hot soaking.

Yes, you'll find it on the SDS webpage, here:
EM-4 Tech Page Scroll down to "How to enable access to air temperature values" Don't know if it's valid for EM-5 too... Anyway, be careful, it's hidden for some reason! There is also a comparison between different type of sensors
