okay ... so last night i drove it a lot...used hitmans map first, then BDC made me a map and i used that for a bit....so both maps worked



overnight it sat outside in the cold



go to turn it on today and it doesnt start...its cranking but not starting



anyways...im getting spark, getting fuel, its spinning, etc.



replaced the plugs...still no luck



anyone have any ideas...im gonna try to put on the old map and see whats up

what rpm is it spinning at when you crank? you can see it accurately in the e6k dos software, engine data page.



if it's 300+ rpm it's flooded. You can also hear if it's spinning abnormally fast, but I'm in the habit of just watching the RPM on the software.



Your coolant temp correction map might need some tweaking if it's flooded, also, theres a setting in the setup menu for the cold start thing it's a temp setting and you set above/below, check what it's set to (to see if it's applying the correction or not).

You need to tweak the temp corr. and starting map as Pengy said..

Cold effects everything in a car. Gaskets, Seals, metal, oil, etc.... Fuel Injection doesn't make it impervious to cold.
