HI e6k startup question

Everytime I try to start the car after sitting overnight, the first time I crank it, it doesn't try to start, it just spins the engine like there is no fuel or spark. Then i crank it a second time and everything works like it should.

It still cranks fast not like a low battery, brand new optima battery with an fd alternator charging around 14.8.

haha i've had this issue a lot with fc's and e6k's. bump up the primer map in the colder section and make sure you let the fuel pump prime before turning it over.

it's really not a big deal. worst case just turn it over real quick, and then do it again and it will catch.

i've also had this issue with AEM ems as well.

Yea i've tried turning the key acouple of times to make sure the fuel pressure was up, and my guage is always around 45 after turning the key the first time and the injector ms are kicking around like 5 something while cranking. I'll try the primer map though.

I have to look again, but that was the guess, mainly I was just making sure it wasn't 0ms which means its not the fuel part.I could crank it the first time till the battery dies and it would sound like its not even sparking. But the second time or the rest of the day it starts just fine.
