EBL P4 Choke routine help?

Can someone (Rbob) help me with the choke settings on the P4 EBL?

Car starts fine when cold out, but now that its summer and the temp is maybe 50F and above for the first start in the morning I can't get the car to start and stay running. It's like the choke routine isn't being used at these warmer temps. The car will start and run for 5-10 seconds and then die. Depending on the temp it will do this 2-3-4 times before it will stay running. Once the motor gets warm it will start and stay running just fine. I've played with the decay rates and delays but must not have something right. Any help? Thanks.

Regards,
Gary Anderson

Need to work on this table:

Choke - AFR

Make the changes at the re-start CTS area.

If the engine surges and dies then make it richer (a larger value).

If the engine gurgles and dies, and need to hold the go-pedal down for a restart, make it leaner (smaller values).

RBob.

RBob, thanks. I caught your reply before I left for work this morning. I added 15% fuel in the warmer temp areas and the car started and kept running on the first try this morning.

I was thinking since the car started and died the AFR was OK, just decaying out too soon. Silly me. Thanks again. You're the man.
