Does running the throttle pedal help? When I've had starting issues I can get it to run with some light pedal action, kinda like it was a carb. Then once the O2 is heated up and it goes closed loop, it idles smooth. Now it's just the putting it in gear cold that's the issue but I can get around that with just a little throttle.It’s dying while it’s in open loop. The AFR is bouncing around during the process. It’s acting like it’s running out of fuel or the ignition is being turned off because it’s an abrupt shutoff. After 15-20 restarts and it dying it will run and stay running once it gets to the closed loop.
You could also play around with the cold enrichment. It might need a little more fuel when the motor is cold. In my case, I've found it actually needs a little less fuel it seems. Once the AFR is reading other than 10.0, you can watch the Short Fuel Trim (SFT) and if the number is higher than 5 or so (which means it's adding fuel to the base map), you might need to add cold enrichment. If it's a negative number of -5 or lower (which means it's taking fuel away from the base map), you can try subtracting some cold enrichment. You can do the cold enrichment in one number across the board or click the ADVANCE button and adjust it by temperature range. The goal is to get the SFT close to zero or just 1 or 2 points negative. That's based on some posts from the techs over on the PF4 forum.
A couple of mornings ago, it really didn't want to start. After a couple of attempts I got it to stay running with some light use of the throttle pedal. I had been adding cold start enrichment before then but I noticed the SFT was pretty big negative so I went back to zero. It seems to be starting better now. I've actually got it about -5 on the cold start enrichment. So far in 2 mornings, it's starting without any help.
Really bugs me that LMC doesn't list any specs like lengths for cables so you know wtf your buying. I ended up ordering the right cable last night (50.98" overall length) along with some door bumpers and rear bumper brackets from Ecklers. Once I receive this cable I should be able to assemble the rest of the E-Brake system so it's functioning properly.
