Mainly due to fuel pressure being only 25psi at start up I think. I'll look at getting check valves put in to possibly improve start up 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77949-e85/page/212/#findComment-1470493 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more annoying then anything, it just makes me look bad haha, self tuning it and then your mates hear it cranking for 4seconds isn't a good look haha Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77949-e85/page/212/#findComment-1470504 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always check that I have plenty of fuel pressure, but just takes its time. When warm instantly start. 98 starts instantly every time.

I am just going to experiement making it richer and richer.Its got nothing to do with fuel pressure. 3 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77949-e85/page/212/#findComment-1470522 Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 1m 7d Gender: Male Posted 09/05/14 02:33 AM Share Posted 09/05/14 02:33 AM You can be pretty targeted in the tuning in regards to cold starts. Basically you can target cranking lambda at the temps you want and there is a separate table where you can do the same when it starts.I think the cranking lambda is most important to get it started though 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77949-e85/page/212/#findComment-1470552 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosij Donating Members 2,045 Member For: 13y 8m 26d Gender: Male Posted 09/05/14 02:55 AM Share Posted 09/05/14 02:55 AM (edited) Mine used to start BETTER then my 98 and my 98 starts 1-2 cranks!When you prime the car it pressurizes the system so fuels there ready to start but because E85 is a *beep* when cold I believe because I have no check valves the system is depressurizing so once primed pressure is gone and it just winds over & over & over.Funny how if I prime it say 4-5 times it starts first go! Whys that?Cold start with priming - Edited 09/05/14 03:08 AM by Kosij Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77949-e85/page/212/#findComment-1470568 Share on other sites More sharing options...
