help with starting a hot engine
my e46 2.5 dme ms43 injectors of 52 lbs bosch 100% ethanol from sugar cane, it starts very cold, when hot it starts with a lot of fuel the injector time at the beginning goes to 16 mls I've looked in all the tables and I can't find anything that is At this value, hot after idle it runs very well but the problem is the hot start, could someone help me Any opinions are welcome, I've been dealing with this for months

Re: help with starting a hot engine
Can you upload your tune so it’s possible to see how it’s been modified so far?

Re: help with starting a hot engine
It seems you're on the correct path by modifying IP_TI_CST, IP_TI_CAST, and IP_TI_TCO_WUP. However, is there a reason you didn't scale all of the proper fuel tables by your new injector scalar? It appears you only modified the fuel values for some of the temperature correction maps around warmer temps. Otherwise, the rest of the tables are completely stock.

Yes, I didn't modify them all because I'm learning to deal with it, I'm still going with caution, the abbreviations of the table names make me confused, but I'm getting used to it, one more question would be to use the voltage input of one of the post cat probes to input a 0 to 5v signal from a wb reader and have the value displayed in the log as a lambda value

Re: help with starting a hot engine
Search for these instead and you'll find them:
- ip_ti_cast
- ip_ti_cr_cst
- ip_ti_cr_cast

Re: help with starting a hot engine
I adjusted the start and start tables and it continues to shoot a lot of fuel at hot start, it only starts by pressing the accelerator pedal, I don't know what else to do with it

Re: help with starting a hot engine
What about IP_TI_TCO_WUP? With this parameter, you can target a specific coolant temperature and perhaps dial it back a bit.
There is another similar parameter which may come into play called IP_TI_TCO_WUP_IS.

Re: help with starting a hot engine
I'm going to make a log of the cold start and the hot start to see if you can identify where this high injector time is coming from, if I leave it set to start very cold it starts very hot, if I set it hot it doesn't start cold at all

Re: help with starting a hot engine
I found what could be causing this problem but I don't know how to solve it in the log I noticed that at startup the maf value goes up which is why the injection time is high, any tips on what could be causing this

Re: help with starting a hot engine
The MAF reading only surges during a hot startup, but not during a cold startup?
