I tried searching but could find anything that was similar to mine.
I'm having cold start issues, and by cold start I mean starting the car when the car has sat for a day. I live in Los Angeles so it doesn't matter if it's 50 F or 100 F, when you first start the car it has issues starting so I have to crank it at least 4-5 times to get it to start. Once it starts, even if it runs for 3 seconds and I shut it off. If I restart it, it'll fire right up no issues. So it's that initial start when the engine is "room temp". I have checked for vacuum leaks and replaced the idle air control. I don't think it's the fuel pump cause I can hear it whine away when you turn on the car. I have even set the car to on, waited 5 seconds and tried starting and still the same thing. My guess is that it must be the tune but I can't be 100% sure.
Also, it idles strange sometimes. I'll pull up to a light and it'll drop idle to like 100-200 rpm and then pull itself back up to 900rpm. Or Sometimes it'll keep reving itself, from around 1000 to about 2000 rpm like a vroom...vroom...vroom when I'm at a light. It is extremely annoying.
It's a 96 Talon TSi AWD heavily modded. Check my profile for specs. I'm running DSMlink V2.5 with a GM MAF and translator.
Does anyone else have any other ideas or can confirm it must be the tune?
PLEASE help!!!
I can even send someone my tune to take a look at it to see if there is an idle or start issue in it.
Thanks.
