Hey guys I'm tired of just tossing money on this thing and not getting my moneys worth. I am having a LONG cold start-up, and missing when its warming up... sometimes its so bad, the car just dies couple seconds after firing. ALSO backfires crazy when under boost or I TRY to make WOT pulls. I have replaced the following things with known working items thinking that would fix my issue:

Fuel Pump
Fuel Pressure Regulator
Coil Pack
Transistor Pack
Injectors

Please help me out guys :pray:

your battery is reading low...thats happend to me before with the battery charge being to low, and if your on stock injectors..why does the wot log show 36+psi?


amd in the idle2 log it says your building some boost at idle...not to sure about that one
 
Sad to say the problem came back again soon after, just didn't have time to post here on tuners. I put my FIC 1050s back with new bpr7es's. I have 3 logs. One is from a cold start to warm up and starts to level out from its rough start after 40 seconds. One is a cruise log. The last one is a cruise log with a small 2nd gear pull.

I decided to record around what second (from the 2nd cruise log) the car started to miss that was more noticeable.
100-250?
470
600
680
765
1222
1240
1280
1540

(Could not upload this log up with Tuners due to the 488kb file size limit) This is the 2nd cruise log, which has more info.

The hard start seems to point to a coolant sensor. It could also be low fuel pressure. It could be a bad spark plug wire or bad plug. A boost leak check is needed also. Report back again if you find and fix the issue.

A new coolant sensor is in mind. Fuel pump and regulator are brand new... fuel pressure is there. Spark plugs ARE BRAND NEW (installed them today). SP wires are only a couple months old as well. Boost leak has been done and no leaks were found.
