Starting issues

[A90alex]

The car is currently on a E30 blend map and the car is having a tough time starting after sitting for 5+ hours. When the car was on 93 it didn’t have this issue but switching to E30 it’s having issues again since I had this problem before. Any idea as to what is causing the car to take longer to start and choke to start? Also it’s not cold where I am it’s 75°+ so it’s not a weather issue. I’m thinking possible fuel pump also car has only 12k miles

How hard of a time is it having? Like, more than what's typical with ethanol/an ethanol blend?

It’s not like cranking for more than 4 seconds but it’s definitely struggling. This afternoon the temp was 85° and it started to crank then stopped for a split second then cranked over and started

I’d start with monitoring the pump channels via Ecutek/MHD, etc while cranking.. see if any thing looks funky there.

Doesn't necessarily sound abnormal to me on an ethanol blend.
