Thus, it gets the fuel pumped up to the cylinders and ignited and enables the engine to run on its own power. Cranking the engine simply means turning the engine's crankshaft that rotates the engine to power itself. + + +

+ +![Starter](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Automobile_starter.JPG/270px-Automobile_starter.JPG) + The electric starter motor or cranking motor is the most common type used on gasoline engines and small diesel engines. + +You can control the starter using several rusEFI firmware features: +* [Start-Stop Button Control](Start_Stop_Button) +* [Starter Disable Relay Control](Starter_Block_Relay) + +
+ +
+ +Cranking mode is defined as any RPM value below 'cranking RPM' setting. During cranking, special fuel and timing logic is applied. + +> *Hint: If you have a fresh new engine ready for cranking, and you want to prepare the configuration for the first start, Please first see: [First Engine Start](First_engine_start).* + + +# Cranking Settings + +In TunerStudio, the Cranking Settings are accessed from the top menu: +![table](FAQ/cranking/menu.png) + +The settings are divided into several sections: +* [General settings](#general-cranking-settings) +* [Priming fuel pulse settings](#priming-fuel-pulse) +* [Fuel settings](#fuel-settings) +* [Ignition settings](#ignition-settings) +* [IAC settings](#iac-settings) +* [Post-cranking fuel enrichment settings](#post-cranking-short-time-fuel-enrichment) + +rusEfi has separate cranking control strategy for your first couple of engine revolutions - usually you want more fuel, different timing and simultaneous injection to start an engine.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +## General Cranking Settings +### Cranking RPM limit +*This sets the RPM limit below which the ECU will use cranking fuel and ignition logic, typically this is around 350-450 rpm.*
More... +In rusEFI Console, you can use command ```set cranking_rpm X``` to change this value.
+ +### Enable cylinder cleanup +*When enabled, if the throttle pedal is held above 90% then no fuel is injected while cranking to clear excess fuel from the cylinders.* + +### Enable faster engine spin-up +*Smarter cranking logic. When enabled, the ignition and fuel injection will start right after the first sync point of the primary [trigger wheel](Trigger_Wheels).* +*Please be aware that this mode currently works only for certain trigger wheel types (e.g. 60-2, 36-1).* + +
+ + +## Priming Fuel Pulse +### Duration at -40C degrees +*Prime injection pulse uses for Wall wetting before cranking. You can set prime pulse for the cold engine (-40 celsius degree) and set hotest temperature for use this setting.* + +*We use interpolation from smaller CLT to biggest CLT, to make line function for pulse width and interpolate pulse width from bigger(we set it in settings) to zero(when CLT>= falloff temperature).* + +*Prime pulse make a big weight when you have a long distance from injector to engine valve.* +

+ +### Falloff temperature + +*This sets the temperature above which no priming pulse is used, The value at -40 is reduced until there is no more priming injection at this temperature.* + +## Fuel Settings +### Injection mode +*This is the injection strategy during engine start.
