Reading this thread with absolute fascination. Congratulations Macro and keep it coming!!
The only question I have is with regards to the following (reducing # of cranks for startup). I was under the impression that this was a deliberate move so that the engine could build up sufficient oil pressure before starting? I know that my 2016 C7 does the exact same thing as my 1991 ZR-1 and it has been explained as such.

The firmware now monitors the coolant temperature sensor and engine RPM and when appropriate, hi-jacks the start-up process.
For the first time ever, my ZR1 now starts with the first spark in cold, warm or hot conditions.
Also - got a website up to link photos to ongoing developments. Came with a free email: peter@zr1ecm.com |
