ive been having issues with car no starting first try after sitting... cold weather makes it worse but if it sits for 8hrs while i work it will take 2 to 3 turnovers, colder mornings can be as many as 6.

I adjusted some dead time and my mafcomp and its a bit better but not firing up like it was after e85 and injector swap. i can only try it every few hours, once it reaches temps its fine.

I can see on my log the crank compensation will have my fuel as high as 34% and my afrs will be 7.5 until it stops... not sure whats going on there. That flooding might be the problem. 7.5 on e85 would be washing out cylinders. Once the compensation stops it goes to 14s where it should be.. any way here is a log.. advice appreciated.
