Starting issues

Mine does the same thing. I figured it was just part of having cams, e85, 1600s, and no idle motor. Doesn't bother me but if there is a way to fix it, that'd be nice.

Yea, same here. I've just lived with it but would really like to fix it.

I removed my fuel pressure solenoid, I heard that was supposed to help cold starting, but would it help much? I know it just keeps the FPR from seeing vacuum on starting so it has more fuel pressure to start, maybe I'll try unplugging the line to the FPR next time I cold start it just to see if it'll help.

EDIT: Excellent news, you can adjust the cold start fuel adjustments/enrichment in dsmlink v3, outside the global fuel adjustments. In addition to fuel amount, I hope you can adjust a cold start deadtime as well, that would be awesome. Whenever I cold start with my 1600s the short term fuel trim is always around 10% until it warms up, then goes back to around 0%.
