Starting problem
#1
![Default](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Well, I have this problem:
1) I have to give it a little throttle when cranking, otherwise it wont start.
2) When cold I need to crank for about 10 seconds before it starts firing.
3) Once it start firing if I don't accelerate it immediately shuts off. It starts and shuts down in a second.
I've messed with everything related to cranking and after start stuff but cant get it right, would you guys help me. Maybe post your cranking settings please.
I got to the point were everything else is almost good (ve table - afrs) and the car runs pretty good but the starting problems I just cant fix.
Thank you

fast idle threshold: 200 F ???
granted you have a 1.6 vs my 1.8 but think your cranking pulsewidths, ASE, and warm up enrichments may be a lil off for 460s. mine are:
someone else with a 1.6 with 460's can chime in.
NOTE: i didn't tune the cranking settings below 40F because i don't run that car when it's that cold so ignore those defaults
