mikec23 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Is there such a thing as a correct starting procedure for a 97 1.6k supersport with jenvey throttle bodies?? I turn on the ignition, wait for a click to tell me the fuel is through to the bodies, throttle down 1/3 and hit the starter button, assuming the battery is feeling strong it starts ok, worst case 3 or 4 goes. Does this sound about right and any hot starting tips so that i dont have to go and push start my wife when shes taken the car to the pub! (other than not letting her!)

mikec23 Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 tks Rob, its not that much of a problem to be honest. I looking for more of a guide as to throttle position for cold and hot starting but i'll bear it in mind. mike.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony C Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I'm not too sure you should be touching the throttle pedal during the start. What ECU do you have? The map should have a start setting, which I'm pretty sure you cancel if you open the throttle during cranking.

prs Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 If your running with an Emerald then the cold start map should enable you to start without touching the throttle pedal, blipping the pedal first will likely flood it. Phil S7SVN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave SL77 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Mike Dont know how mine is mapped, but when cold there is no chance my Lumenition ecu'd superlight will start from cold and idle without 1/3rd throttle or so until it warms up. I also get the hot start click (after the relay mod too) but not always and always starts after the 3rd or 4th press of the button. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
