wolf cold weather settings?

my car is tuned and running great, problem is it was warmer when we tuned and I also drove the car there so it was already warmed up as well.

With the weather getting colder and colder the car gets harder to start, I have been going to the fuel settings and adding cold enrichment then bringing the value back down once it warms up and that helps, but the other day it was the coldest it has been and it took 4-5 tries to get the car started.

I am running a older wolf, v3 and I have the hand controller.

My tuner offered to help and make sure the car is right but its just been tough gettng the car to him and letting it stay overnight to get cold so im hoping someone can help me out a little?

funny guy! Im coming for my fender- dont get too comfy with it!
I have another one you can have for free if you want one.

im told the newer wolf has better cold starting, not like I have such a high horsepower set up or drive the car that much in the cold to justify spending the extra money on it.

I pretty much had to dump the fuel on and advance timing to get mine to cold weather start without having to tap dance on the gas pedal the whole time. This setup works for me, but YMMV. Pics attached of relevant settings assuming everything works w/o a hitch when warm.

funny thing is it can idle after only a few seconds, starting is another issue.

going to get cold this week so I should get off my butt and either shuffle the car around or play with it a little more

Rob,

I'm running the V4, but I'm using the PC software. I really never learned to use my hand controller. I did the bend over $80 cable from Wolf so I could just use my laptop.

I just picked up a V500, probably wont get to install it until the spring.
Software looks great.

BTW if anyone can use a V3 and hand controller let me know.
I also have a plugin for stock s4TII wiring.
