Here is how you car should start in the cold weather. It is all about the tune. I know you are on a stock ecu, but if a car on an AEM EMS can start that fast a stock ecu sure as hell can.

Here is another one.

1. expand "fuel"

2. check the box for Cranking Enrichment IPW adder (main). to be able to click on mine i had to go to file/options/user level, and change it to advanced.

3. change the inputs to the following using alt+] and alt+[

-32 360.0
-18 240.0
-8 120.0
7 60.0
20 16.0
34 7.0
50 3.5
77 1.5
82 1.5

the thread that i used to get these settings also had changes for battery voltage and fuel enrichment, but changing the IPW is all i did and it's worked great for me. i was considering going to 91oct for the winter, but theres no way i could after using the e85. so im glad this has worked out.

i think i said earlier in the thread that these changes also helped me with my warm start issue. i was having a problem if i turned the car off for 10-20 minutes, i would have a hard time getting it started again. give it a try and let me know how it works out!
Thanks!!! I put mine to these settings and it starts much better in the cold. It'll take one or two starts

Good to hear it worked. I know for me there is a 70hp/80tq difference between my 91 oct and e85 tune, so I really didn't want to switch to pump all winter...lol

I'm just running whatever the stock plugs are. Been a while since I replaced them and forget the number.
