Starting Problem
Sometimes when trying to start the car, it turns over about half a turn, stops like the battery is dead, then continues and starts just fine.
The battery is fully charged, and was new 18months ago, so it shouldn't be a bad battery.
Didn't have this problem when the car was stock, but I don't recall when exactly it started. Sometime between when it was stock and when I was running MS and the 460cc injectors.
I know it does it when cold, but I think (actually haven't noticed) it also does it when warm. I'll have to pay attention and see if it's only a cold-start issue or an all-the-time issue.

sounds like the stock values from the mspnp base map.
did you calculate them for larger injectors?
take 1ms off each. then multiply by the % increase of the 460s over the 265s.
so if the 160* value was 3.2. take 2.2 (since 1ms is opening and closing time) and multiply by .73 (27% larger) and get 1.6 and add the 1ms back in. This gives you 2.6 for the value.

Nope. I backed off the starting PW but it doesn't seem to have fixed the problem. Now it takes more cranks to start, but I think it only started doing that once I put the turbo on, which is strange.
