M30 ECU
I want to start looking into this issue I've noticed the other day. I only get one chance per day (right before work) to observe but it doesn't seem like I can change the amount of advance added to warm up.
I looks like at least 10 degrees is added to my idle timing and I don't know what to my off idle timing I'll try to see that in the morning.

I tried changing the following while the engine was running this morning and I will look again but they did not seem to have an effect.
"Warm Up Timing"
"Idle Timing Offset Warm (temp)"
"After start timing ADV"

UPDATE:
Today before starting I zeroed those 3 maps. And then made changes from there.
The only one that made a difference was "Idle Timing Offset Warm (temp)" It says:
"temp" "-40"
"Deg BTDC" "20"

Taking the 20 down to zero got rid of my cold advance. I left it up to 5 before the engine was too warm for me to keep seeing its effect but I'm assuming it scales whatever you advance is between -40? and normal operating temp?

Lastly, once I got rolling there was knocking whenever I got on the throttle. Nistune was reporting 55 degrees any time the throttle was open. I loaded known good .bins and nothing changed. Turned the engine off for 10 seconds and restarted and everything seemed normal. Bad write requred a restart?

More on that, It did it again driving on my lunch break. I had a bad .bin no matter what I changed it would do that when loaded.
Using compare could not single out anything that would cause that so deleted the .bin.

So is it okay now?

yes, all good starts and drives now but with a quirk I also noticed the other day.
Before the engine is fully to temp: there is a spot under light load and low rpm where the timing access a map other than Idle and the main timing map. I did some playing around and discovered it was accessing the "warm up timing" briefly before going to the main timing map. This map was previously zeroed when I was trying to figure out what was going on and that's how I saw it do that. My remedy was to just have it copy my idle timing map.

btw, this is normal for the ECU to push timing (more advance) when cold during warm-up, this is wanted behavior.
This is still more true when running E85.

These jeopardize the timing b/w 30° and 50°C for RPM < 2600 and TP < 44 if initial engine temp was b/w 15°C and 35°C:
WARMUP_TIMING_TP_MAX,&H7FD6,1,1,1,1
WARMUP_TIMING_RPM_MAX,&H7FD7,1,1,1,50
WARMUP_TIMING_TEMP_MIN,&H7FD4,1,1,1,1
WARMUP_TIMING_TEMP_MAX,&H7FD5,1,1,1,1

Get rid of this by setting WARMUP_TIMING_TEMP_MAX with -50°C (first check done)

WARMUP_TIMING,&H7F60,16,1,16,1 gives 20° BTDC @idle above 2000rpm when warming-up, 15° BTDC otherwise
