Initial cold start good...subsequent warm/hot starts stumble

Post by Davashcow »

So I've got the cold start dialed in pretty well in that the car lights off nicely. After sitting, however, it seems to stumble to life instead of crisply starting. I don't really know where to jump in so I was looking for a little direction. Pretty sure it's not a heat soak issue.

A data log would help me see how the tune is working on a real engine.
