First day, temp2 seems to have fixed the problem...

One question though...and this would make some sense...

On cold start it takes only 2 turns and the engine starts...On warm/hot
start now it only takes 3-4 turns. Is this "normal" based on a "cold
program" and a "warm/hot program" in the ECU? I would think they would act
differently...

Or do I still have problems maybe with something else affecting the
starting...otherwise I would consider it solved...

Thanks!
