Well my starter motor is copping a hiding atm after the e-manage went in.

Cold starts are very good, but hot starts are really bad.

Sometimes takes 3 goes with the starter motor turning for around 3 seconds.

Is this quite common with the piggy back tune ?

Anyone know what to tweak to fix this ?

Car just had 570 Densos installed too.

I'll be taking it back to Jez for another tune after new intercooler plus cel light bypass chip.

Any tips would be great.

cheers

I had the same issue last time with the emanage as it wasn't getting enough fuel on hot starts

Cold starts were fine surprisingly

At first thought it might have been flooding but some aerostart in the plenum kicked it over most times

Under 280 kw emanage seemed to cope ok ish but once it was above 300kw it really struggled for consistency

i have similar problem after EMU setup, car will take 2-3s to get start when in warm and only take 1s in cold.

recently i changed dirty throttle body, PCV valve, engine fan clutch and add a universal HOT INAZMA voltage stabilizer. can't figure out which one effect the engine start but i found the problem is gone. now the warm engine start perform same as cold.

Not that it is any help, but my PNM35 fuel pump primes as I turn on the ignition then I turn to start it. Sometimes the fuel pump primes for two to three seconds before getting to pressure and switching off. On my old GSXR750 it hated hot starts and just wouldn't. I tried everything ! Turns out when the starter relay caught on fire that was probably the problem. Mechanic had ruled it out about 2k of parts before the fire......

Hot start has a low pulse width.Had the same issue, setting the correct lag times for the injectors helped. But putting a new battery in solved it completely. It was getting down to 7.8v on cranking with my old battery and my 950cc injectors wouldn't even open..the emanage doesnt have a voltage vs lag time correction so you have to adjust the overall lag time adjustment to compensate...doing that can make idle rich...so getting the voltage as high as possible means you dont have to dial in as much addtional lag time. Mine runs well with .66 OEM and 1.12 Bosch (lag time 1.12 - 0.66 = 0.46). I had to run the bosch at 1.6 with the old battery...which caused rich idle on 98

Ok. Just fixed a car with the same injectors as yours and same problem. Had to zero out the injector cc correction and lag times. Then put the correction into inj map 2 (-37% across the whole map). Car starts instantly now. Was so bad before it stuffed the starter motor.

Seems the emanage has issues during cranking with its calculations using the injector correction settings. These denso injectors seem to make it worse. I think they are Chinese copies of 35R injectors.

so here's some data logging of my starts if you're interested.

Need E-manage software to read

cold - ( car sitting overnight ) - perfect

hot - ( car sitting for a few minutes ) - good

warm -(car sitting for a couple or more hours) - bad

you see on warm1 log it took 4 long goes to start

I'm assuming it's water temp affecting the injector output duration and or vapour lock ?

Strange though also log shows water temp at 6 degrees ???

That was after car sitting for 6 hours and a mild day.

Maybe E-manage skewing readings ?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
