Cranking Enrichment

During engine cranking, a signal from the starter relay is sent to the ECU to enrich the fuel mixture. The amount of enrichment or activation of the cold start valve is controlled by a coolant temperature sensor. When the enrichment amount is determined by the ECU it remains constant during that cranking cycle. A thermo timer controls enrichment cycle time after starting.
