2019 Dodge cranking spark
I'm tuning a 2019 Dodge Durango.
Is there a table to adjust cranking spark.?
It starts at -64 degrees and goes to -12 degrees once cranking.

Have you checked the minimum spark tables? There should be a base and startup table.

You want spark retarded during cranking to reduce load on the starter. It will advance as soon as it senses the engine has fired.
I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish or what you're trying to fix, but this is probably not the solution.

You can use startup min spark. Cammed or stock? Around 8* seems to work pretty good. Warm doesn't need as much so I usually do a little less at lower time warm

The problem is that the spark remains at -12 degrees while cranking.
It is supposed to come up as the cranking speed increases. I'm sure it is something I did in the tune because it was not like that stock.
FYI I have put cam, headers, cold air intake. Runs great just will not start warm without giving it some throttle. Cold starts beautiful.

Have you tried adding some airflow in the startup airflow table at warmer temps?
