I understand this setting ajusts fuel enrichment on starting ?

What settings do you use ? Especially interested in knowing from those of you with bigger injectors.

Reason I am asking is, I find that my car is hard to start when it is hot or has been running for a while.

Cold start is fine - it kicks over first pop - no worries - even from dead cold.

But when hot - it takes maybe 3-4 good cranks before it will start. Sometimes I have to leave it for a while.

I guess it might be coil packs or fuel pump - but I doubt it - cause the only thing I have changed recently is the the PFC (replaced from Microtech where it was starting fine)

Any other suggestions ?

Cheers,

Brendan,

My car does the EXACT same thing... Perfect from dead cold, perfect if I start it up again within a few minutes when hot, but if I leave it for a while when hot, it takes 3-4 long cranks to fire up.

I thought it was my Bosch 044 fuel pump, but I dunno anymore... I really need to give Paul (Stace's pit bitch) a call, he said he went through the same troubles with Stace's car, but I haven't gotten around to calling him yet :looney:

Possible factors:

Power FC Pro

GReddy 800cc injectors

Mines AFMs?

Bosch 044 Fuel Pump

Makes it hard because I had so many things changed at once, troubleshooting is going to be a biatch :D

I had a look at the Cranking table... Interesting that you can't adjust spark timing, but only injector width?

And what do you reckon the temperature is? Water temp?

FIXED IT ! Woo Hoo

 

Changed Cranking enrichment from 3.0 ms to 6.0 ms @ 80 degrees

 

:)

 

I'm gonna become me a car tuner :rofl:

hi guys

we run 4.0ms at 80deg and 7.0ms at 50deg, if thats any help. 720cc injectors are used, but staceys cranking prob was pump feed voltage drop. Merli if any probs call me if you want to discuss further.Paul.....DIRTgarage

Do you mean ignition timimg ?? Cause you can on the timing map - 1st set point is 400 RPM.

Unless you mean something else ??

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
