They gave me my car back and said everything was fine.... I should have called you first but I was so busy and needed my car back... I need a reliable performance shop around south jersey...

Shoot me an email please so I can have a direct way of contacting you.
I just texted the co owner the shop I go to..

I said this, " Full blown says they are still waiting for the tune from you guys.. And my car had 2 rough start ups today.. Full blown keeps insisting its with the tune, along with several other people. "

He responded, Roshan spoke to LJ on the phone. Tell them to send a tune over for it. It should come with a base map when you buy the kit. roshan@powerhaus-performance.com

... Man I really just wanna drive my car without worrying.

Any update on this (years later)? I am having the same issue with my new setup - Injector Dynamics 1050x and E85. Will start fine cold, but not hot. Will just crank for days. Flooring it doesn't seem to help. Leave it alone, come back later, and it starts.

Im having the same problem... I have the FB kit woth 1000cc injectors and ecutek tune from Zach Tucker and my car does great on cold starts but once it gets warm it wont turn back on... at all not even by pressing the gas and its irritating... If anyone finds a fix let us know...

well it s a tune problem, you won t fix it magically just by sitting in there
you neeed to ask zach to handle it since it s the only one able to enter your current tune

I did, he's tried multiple things and still nothing. We even took a log while cranking the car while warm ans still he couldn't find anything bad on the tune..

How do the wires look on the cam sensor close to the downpipe? I found that mine had been melted (I had other issues, but this wasn't helping). I bought DEI cable sleeving for the the plug and wiring, since they sit close to the downpipe.

I also have this problem, but found myself a workaround for this issue.



When your car bogged down after first hot-crank:



- Try pulling fuel pump fuse out ("F/PMP" on engine bay fuse box, 20A yellow fuse)



- Then try start the engine up again.


- If it successfully cranks, don't forget to put the fuse back in before the fuel rail drys out.



FYI: my car have ID1050x, DW300c pump, TD05H-20G turbo, EcuTek, flex-fuel, normally runs E73.


I don't have the opportunity to working with my tuner yet because of the COVID-19 lock-down state in Thailand.


Good luck.
