RC 1000cc car doesn't start well

I got some rc 1000cc injectors on my car.

I have them scaled dead on with idle/cruise trims at 0.2% and 0.1% (on evoscan, mitsulogger just gives 0/0)

Cold starts are ok most of the time. The real problem is with hot starts.

I have to crank it for about 4-6 seconds for it to start. there is a strong fuel smell as if the car is pig rich, but it quickly goes away after a few seconds.

Here are my scaling and latency settings:





I started with some values i found here and changed them that way:
-11.72v to 18.68v are the values i found *0.95.
-7.03v and 9.38v are some values someone posted saying it would help the problem i had. i didn't solve my problem.

I am currently out in the dark at the moment, and I have no idea what i should be doing.

Any help would be apperciated.

you need to reduce your 'Start up Enrichment IPW Adder' map.

What's your ROMID?

Add this to your xml in ecuflash:
Code:
	<scaling name="ColdStartTime" units="ms" toexpr="x*0.008" frexpr="x/0.008" format="%.1f" min="0" max="500" inc="1" storagetype="uint16" endian="big"/>
	<table name="Startup Enrichment IPW Adder #1 (Main)" category="Fuel" address="5240" type="2D" level="1" scaling="ColdStartTime">
		<table name="Coolant Temperature" address="7100" type="Y Axis" elements="9" scaling="Temp"/>
	</table>
Then roughly halve all the values (560 -> 1000 = 2x as big)

yup that's the right one.

so basically those ms values are unscaled by injector scaling, so whatever you have scaled your injector scaling to, roughly do the same to those ms's.

ie, for me

513 -> 1083 = 2.11111, so i just divided all the ms's in that table by 2.

I suppose for E85

513 -> 835 = 1.63, so divide them by 1.6ish...

kkarim, this is what the table look like on my pc after i added the text to the xml.

i will try tomorrow to put in ecu with value /2 and see if it helps the issue.

i must do /2 only for the values on the right part correct?
