Yeah, change that time down. This should clear that problem up for you.

What color and location did you use for the tach wire hook up ? Just curious as this may also be your problem.

The crank time setting only has effect when the unit is set to voltage sense mode. And voltage sense usually sucks. You'll adjust it so it's perfect in the summer, and then the car won't crank long enough to start when it gets cold.

Anyway, whatever tach wire you used, I'd say to try another one and see if it gets better. Try an injector and see how it goes then.
