Sounds like a faulty temp sender. The ECU thinks the engine is still cold, so it adds lots of fuel for a "cold start"

That is a possibility. It is important to test these things which is easy to do with a multimeter.

Go into 'settings' then 'cranking' and have a look at the 50deg and 80 deg settings.

Change the 80deg to 9.0 and the 50deg to 10.0 and see if it starts easy for you.

will this change the tune at all??

dont know much about tuning at all, just know it was dyno tuned for hours an was told that, down low on cruise he has kept it as lean as possible an at 20 psi its running rich but on its limit of knocking. an a slight change to the tune an the engine's buggered.

still waiting on new coils should arrive any day they've bn sent. other wise i'll have to plan a trip back to brissy an let mark figure it out.

Won't effect the tune that your tuner has put in place. It will effect the amount of fuel being put in but only while you are cranking the engine, not while it is running.

The other thing I should add also is, if the changing of settings makes it worse, then try the other way and reduce the figure. This is only a cheap temporary fix. It will help you determine if there is a problem elsewhere which you can then find and understand more easily.

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
