Hot start issues ???

Post by webb1624 »

Car will start and idle good when cold. When I start the car after it is hot it will start then die. I can do this several times before it actually stays running. When it does stay running the idle will hunt for some time before it settles down. Once it settles down it is fine. Car will drive fine and idle fine until I shut it off and restart it. I have played with the ASE percentage, ASE taper, Crank to run taper, WUE but I am still have issues with the hot start. I have a datalog of me trying to start it a few times to show what its doing. I also noticed my accel enrichment is coming on and going to 100%. I don't know why its doing this because I don't have to touch the gas pedal when I start the car. When the idle settles down the accel enrichment is still at 100%. ???????

Try more ASE on hot starts.

Thanks Matt. I don't see ASE on my Megalog. Is it labeled under something else?

It is included in the warmup correction.
