Not cold; but 47 this morning, didn't wait for the grid and it still cranked and started in less than 2 seconds, more like a hair over 1 second. Fired right up... This thread had me thinking so I tried it... ...
Mine seemed to start better after I programmed it with the Smarty. Before, sometimes it would do the "intermittent long crank. " No such problem since. Usually starts in under a second. At worst, 2 or 3. At 37 degrees this morning, under a second.
