I searched no one has this specific problem. To get to the point, I have 1000cc injectors and ever since, I've been having ridiculous cold start issues. Once the car starts It's running good. Today I cranked the motor 2-3 times and it started up then shut off like it does normally on a cold day gave it a little gas trying to keep the rpm up and It died. When I tried again, once I put the car to the start position, the car goes blank instantly, almost as if someone removed the power from the car. I moved the power cable around and the lights came back on...tighten it and the same thing happened again :/ the lights work and other accessories work. only when i put the car to start position it just blacks out then I have to move the power cable around to get the lights on, but it won't start. Any advice on what to do would be appreciated.. Anyone?

Well as your car warms up (coolant temp rises) the car runs very rich until it warms up. DSMLink showed me that. Once its warm it will go away. What are you using to tune?
