You might still need to mess with the very lowest part
of the VE table, like the 400 and 800 columns, because you
have to slide on up through these to establish idle. But
there are also a bunch of cranking VE, etc. params I've
never messed with that might be more relevant or
supersede the main VE during cranking. The things I
mentioned are things I've seen affect idle, not engine
starting per se.

I'll look into the cranking tables later today, thanks for helping out.

looks like this might be the right table:

"Engine>Fuel control>General fuel>Cranking fuel"

Ah shoot, sorry about the confusion. I have a bad habbit of skimming over things before replying - sometimes I don't take it all in. I knew a few SSS/Radix guys were complaining about a little hesitation when the motor was still cold.

Yeah, JB was right on with the above post. I don't have any experience with the cranking tables either.
