Hi all,
i've been running V3 MS1 on my 92 Eunos for a couple of weeks now and cold starts, morning or after work when the car has been sat most of the day are, frankly crap.
It takes a good 10 secs with the key and pumping the peddle to get her started then i have to hold the revs around 2500rpm for around 30 secs otherwise she'll stall. Once warm the car is fine.
When starting her up for the first time i get lots of pops, shakes and bangs and a really strong smell of fuel. Also for a couple of minutes after shes been running the revs fluctuate between 1500 and 2100rpm Could she be flooding?
I'm on a stock 1.6 engine with 1.8 (beige top) injectors and the MSPNP base map. The only setting i have changed is the required fuel for the bigger injectors.
What do i need to adjust to try and get cold starts better?? I'm a total noob with this stuff and still learning so appreciate any help.
Oh and I'm using Tunerstudio.
Thanks in advance.

lets say it.s 4*C out right now. Focus on that particular number for now.
Just glancing it already looks like your injecting too much fuel at that temperature comparing the 16*C and -7*C numbers.

Well looks like you were right, I halved all the figures from 4c upwards, turned the key and she fired up first time!!!! didn't touch the pedal at all!! I had to up the figures slightly from about 38 upwards to get her to restart but now she's fine.
