Abstract
Methods and systems for starting an engine are provided. A cold-start request to start the engine in a first operating condition associated with a predetermined engine temperature range is obtained. In response to obtaining the cold-start request, an amount of boost fuel to provide to the engine is determined, based on at least one second operating condition of the engine. The engine is started by supplementing a baseline fuel flow to the engine with the amount of boost fuel.
