Hello , just bought a worked evo (96) Problem is it wont start in the morning , get home at lunch time starts first pop. Runs on 98 oct. Any ideas what could be done! Car runs perfect all day , just the cold start. Its like starting an old escort in the morning with no choke.

My last mitsy did that, ended up replacing the dissy as it was the crank angle sensor or cam sensor from memory, was fine after that

you say its worked ! running a aftermarket ecu could possibly be that the cold start tune hasnt be done correctly

What are your injector latencies and scaling!

sorry not sure.

You will need to find out as this is more then likely the cause of the issue. When almost doubling the flow rate of injectors the scaling and latencies need to be adjusted before make any load or cold start enrichment map adjustments

thanks savanna71 , might be a trip to tauranga to see brent at dynopower then. He told me today if it had a aftermarket ecu , there is a simple adjustment for cold starts. But this is a standard flashed ecu (evo7) so i dont know if there is an easy fix.

Since you must be using this vehicle purely for competitive racing this shouldn't be a problem, just race in the afternoons - problem solved.
