Pfc Cold Cranking Setup Help

[ike]

Hi y'all

My tuner reckons he needs my car overnight so he can set up the "cold cranking ???" on the PFC first thing in the morning when its stone cold and only a tiny window to do it in according to him.

Found out he was using a dyno somewhere else but didn,t tell me his one was not working

He clocked up 300k in my car and has set boost @8psi (9psi standard) because he wants it back to finish it.

Not f'kn likely once bitten twice shy.

He had the car for three days before I demanded it back

Very sloppy pfc + boost kit install ie vac line draped across hot plenum and Map sensor at a 45 degree angle to the vertical Book warns you it must be vertical or overboost may occur. Easily fixed though.

Its a really nice car I think he was using it as his daily driver A low act

Anyway water under the bridge.

Could someone tell me what the cold cranking set up is

I can easily wind back up the boost with the hand controller and monitor knock levels Map traces etc.

Have been getting right into this tuning lark thanks to all the excellent info in the threads just the theory so far until I get my head around it all . before I do it for real.

So is this guy taking me for a ride or is what

He comes highly recommended from my research for a good tuner on this web site. Ha

Would like some input please

Cheers

Mike

tell him NOT to touch the standard PFC settings for cold start and that you dont want a cold start tune.

IF your engine runs like crap in the morning after the tune then il get you to post up your settings so we can double check it across the stock settings in case the guy trys to be a smart ass.

I dont even recall if there is cold cranking adjustment, only temp enrichment

There's a cranking ms time vs ECT. I presume this is what he wants to tune. If the injectors are standard then there is no reason to touch these settings.

I have NEVER EVER had to change the cold start and run tuning on ANY Power FC on ANY Skyline.

If his factory cold start on his PFC has been tampered with, I'm assuming that a reinitialize and start over again would bring all that back to standard again?

[paulr33]

yes you could re-initialise it to reset the cold start settings but that would erase the whole tune

you can simply ask someone who has an un-modified (ie: almost everyone) cold start settings screen and change the numbers back

I love it.

They all work fine no matter what...
