Default Remote Starting

During this cold season, the car has a really hard time cranking up after parking overnight. It keeps on cranking over and over. The cranking time is set at default because I dont want to overcrank it, screwing the engine up, especially if its a warm start when it requires a really short cranking time. Do u guys have a similar problem? What is the timing that you guys set it at?

I leave mine alone. Mine starts perfectly fine. Cold or warm weather.

Well during the summer and fall, the car usually require two cranks to cold start and default timing. No it seems to struggle in the early morning

Seems to me you should fix the cold starting problem. The car should not start much differently wether its hot or cold out.
CHeck for DTC's, if none, I'd try cleaning the throttle plates first.

Isnt that kind of normal ofor most cars to take a tad longer to start cold? During a warm start, it takes a .6 second crank to start. Durin the day after parking it for couple hours, it takes 2 cranks. The car was tuned up and got a throttle body cleaning a while back

My axles or frame or something creak when I move the car in the morning, like when I turn out of my parking spot early in the morning when it is cold. I need to let the car warm up a little bit before I can gas it real good.
