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).

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