a possible arap starting problem fix? - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

i had a modified arap bin that i did burn for me recently till i got my pp... for some reason it takes about 3-sec of cranking to start...

i did a search here a found a interesting thread...

the topic was a fix to arap starting probs people were expereincing a crank time like i have.... the fix to this was to mod a bin named "crank fuel pw multiplier vs ref pulses (1-16)"

it seems that if i change all the 0's in the 1-8 to .5 for 1-4 and .25 for 4-8 that i can easily cure this problem, if there any drawbacks or cautions you might have before i try this? is it a bad idea or a good idea?

thanks

It works great-however if you find you have "hot soak" hard restart problems, then you'll need to back off on those values to hit a balance.
