Yeah . I record them too, on DVR. I watched the first 30 laps or so last night. Probably will watch the rest of it in a little bit here.

This is what you can expect from E-85 with stock internals. Iridium NGK plugs - “7” temp range, gapped to 0.022”

How cold is cold? Mine doesn't crank that long on full E85 but I'm in Florida. Not sure if that effects it or not.

warmer ambient temps help

warmer ambient temps help

Can it get cold enough that it'll never start until its warmer or will it always eventually start, but just way more cranking?

NorCal, Isn’t that cold - 60’s, but yeah - 40’s track side in the morning is more challenging.
I’ve pulled plugs and used a lighter to get them warm enough to fire. Tedious, but effective. Once it fires over, it starts easy peazy the rest of the day.

This was just now, at these temps.

Your CrankingFuelAdj is set almost identically to mine. Unless you have changed it since March 21.

Yours, if it continues to run rough like that for about the next 10 seconds, it probably has CrankingFuelAdj too rich.
I'm just going by that's how mine sounded for about the first 15 seconds when my CFA was at the default settings.
The initial running smoothed out some when I brought those sliders down a ways.
It sure starts up quick though (yours does).

The whole map is rough AF. Lol. That's next on the list now that it's on full E85. It's essentially untuned everywhere but WOT and some of cruise.

Trying something:

E85 - Cold start (60’s)

This is the result from the last edit:

This is the result from the last edit:

Hmm. Either way you had to run the starter for about 5 seconds. But this time it did more bumping along the way.

I've always found with this car (and also with my 1994 Jeep) that I could reduce my total cranking time like this:
Crank twice instead of once. Never more than 2 seconds per crank. First crank can be 1.5 to 2 seconds. Then just let go of the key and let it sit for ~1.5 seconds. Then crank the 2nd time for max of 2 seconds. If it still doesn't want to go, let go of the key for ~1.5 seconds and then give it the 3rd crank.
This I find pretty good, even when I am using 5 seconds (or however many seconds) of fuel pump prime time setting in ECMlink when I turn the key to ON.

 

[CrackedDSM]

I wonder why mine starts so good even with a junk fuel map? It’s like this even when it’s super cold outside(for Florida).

Intriguing.

 

[Justin DuBois]

More fuel - (not better)

I ended up going back to stock settings

Justin I notice that the 2g Stock values are a lot lower (leaner) than the 1g Stock values, for Cranking Fuel Adjust.
I wonder why that is?
You can see the 1g Stock values in my table here:



And, it might be irrelevant for you running full blast E85, but here I show my InjOn time highlighted in thick dashed red lines, along with a few other things in my cold start log from April 13, 2025. That huge bump to 11.72 ms in this case, wow, you don't get that at all if CrankingFuelAdjust isn't working. Which it wasn't on my car for a while in 2022 when "KeyStart" wasn't working.
This was 1.4 seconds of cranking:

I’ll log these new items, and try smaller changes

New sticker arrived

And - the flat spots to go with

Now I’m trying to make a decision.

Happy Easter!
These were the first set of rims I purchased back in the day that fit over Stoptech calipers. At 7.5” and 30 offset, they are more narrow than I want to run nowadays, but I think I could use them with these junk street tires.

Stickers arrived!

Did you end up using the carstickers.com site for these? I’ve got some things I need / want to try.

https://www.carstickers.com - yeah - These folks were quick

I do NOT recommend - TrackDecals - These folks were slow - like months slow, and they don't respond to e-mail even when you want a refund. After requesting a refund (less than 20$) I gave up - yet the order arrived eventually. I wonder if this is being outsourced and then re-shipped. Their excuse of having trouble getting supplies is played out.

Found a place to repair and refinish the O.Z.’s
They swapped the Firestone Indy 500’s onto the Gram Light’s. So now I look like a Subaru
