But at STARTUP? need some explanation/theory
By Walker - 06/03/2004 11:41:52 AM; IP 216.159.232.26
For example, during startup, the ignition advance is controlled not only by the main advance table, which is set at 18 initial, but also by tables with values determined by the coolant temp sensor and the manifold air temp sensor. Generally, the cooler things are, the more advance is added to the initial value in the main table...real world, working, example, at temps below 0 degrees, 10 degrees of timing advance is added to the initial 18 degrees in the main table (for a total of 28 degrees of initial timing on a cold morning). As the engine warms up, the additional amounts added to the advance gradually drops with the rising temperature to a net 0 add/subtract from the main ignition table.

Basic, fundemental question, I've never seen an answer to: why does a cold engine want so much ignition advance?
