Engine Starting Enrichment

In order to improve starting performance, fuel enrichment during start up is carried out. For a certain time after the engine is started, the air/fuel mixture is enriched slightly in order to stabilize the engine speed. The amount of the compensation varies depending on the engine coolant temperature as measured by the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor.
