E85 hard to start in the cold?
I recently made the switch to e85 on my evo 8 this summer and it has been glorious! Boost for days! However as the weather is getting colder, I have been having trouble starting the car when it's cold. This morning was about 36 out when I was leaving for work and it was not a happy camper. I've adjusted the IPW adder table so when the car is cranking at cold temps, it dumps more fuel and I get combustion. The problem is that as soon as I stop cranking, the car pretty much dies. After 2 or 3 tries it kind of runs, but sounds like a subaru. Usually I can keep trying and it eventually runs right and I let it warm up. This morning it just wasn't having it, so I took my truck to work.
Are others having this issue? Is there something else in the tune I can adjust so that it starts up better in the cold? I plan to store the car for the winter pretty soon anyway, but I plan to drive it for a few more weeks at least.
Thanks!!

Thanks for the links! The second one is tuning via AEM, so that won't do me much good. The first link I've looked at before and is what lead me to changing my IPW values. However, I think this only affects while cranking. I need to figure out what other table I need to adjust so that the enrichment doesn't change so drastically once I stop cranking.
