Low battery voltage reason for slow starting engine?
Posted: Wed Apr 08, 2009 3:59 pm
Hi guys,
I love the Hondata (now that I finally figured out to datalog :) )
I've uploaded both my .cal and my log file of me trying to start the engine cold. As you can see from the log I only have 11.7V when I turn the ignition on (seems pretty low) and it goes down to 9.9V when I press the start button.
Can that be the reason why my engine is starting so badly? It takes about 5 seconds to get it up to run.
Hope somebody can pinpoint me to the problem area and solution.
What can be the reason for this low voltage?
TIA,
Andreas
