Cold start: Water temperature compensation

Post by Dominik »

Hello everybody,

my engine (Ford XFlow) is quite heavily tuned (head porting, cam etc.). It runs very well when warmed up. But with the current cold wheater it takes some time to start and to run smooth.

On "zetecinside.com" I found a temperature compensation table to improve the cold start behaviour. If I understand it correct, there has to be MORE advance at low temperatures.

This is my current ignition table. At idle speed I run around 18-19°. What do you think? Whould it be better with even more advance?

Regards,
Dominik.
