Scott Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Hi Paul,Can you please PCLog and successful start and an unsuccessful start and upload the logs? Also please upload your base-map.

Scott Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Thanks for the logs. When looking through them it looks like the MAP reading is varying between the two logs. This is then affecting the amount of fuel being injected and the ignition angle being applied.Successful start:Unsuccessful start:The logging is at 10 Hz, which is fairly slow and may explain the difference. Would you mind changing your logging rate to 40 Hz and doing the logs again?Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Thanks for the new logs. One thing I noticed in the unsuccessful start log is that 'Prime Fuel' (pre-crank prime) shows as 0.0ms. Where-as in the successful start log the prime fuel is 29ms.The Pre-crank Prime only occurs for the first time you crank the engine after the ECU powers up. From what you said in your first post the engine doesn't start on the first attempt, but then does on later attempts. Try turning pre-crank prime off and see how this affects the starting.Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Webster Posted January 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 hi Scottthanks for the advice did as you suggested but it still did the same thing but put my mind on the wight track turned out to be a relay that on first crank was not powering the injectors but was the second crank all sorted now.thankspaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
