What is the official word on the cause of this? Its been snowing here and very cold. After the car sits a night in this weather its take a few lengthy cranks before it finally turns over.

well your either too rich or too lean. in the haltech you have 2 things that control the starting, the coolant correction map, and the 0 rpm map.

I've played with those before but with no luck. I need to look at some other maps and see what everone else is doing.
