Im having a cold start problem. When the car is cold it want start at all no matter how much you crank on it, and its only if its around 40 degrees outside. If its warm it will start like normal. The problem just started recently but the car had set for about 3 months with a dead battery. I replaced the battery while it was cold and tried starting the car and nothing. I have a ecu+ piggy back ecu and a gm maft on it. I thought that maybe the ecu+ lost its setting so i went out a couple days later and it was warmer and the car started right up so i checked my settings again and they were all still set the same so i figured it was just a fluke. And i go to start it again yesterday and it wouldnt start agian and it was in the 40's again. It doesnt even sound like its trying to fire. I do have my fuel pressure soleniod bypassed but i dont think that would keep it from starting at all. I have replaced the temp sensor about 2 years ago.
