That COULD be the problem, I'm in Cali and the coldest it got here when i was driving was like 48.

Not sure though man, once my car started on the stock ECU i tossed my keys on the floor since I knew the EMS was done. AEM can fix it though, you're not COMPLETELY up S*** creek. How old is it?

What size injectors? Try giving it a little bit of throttle when it starts on the stock ECU, if it responds and runs it seems your EMS may be the problem.
I may know what the problem is. I had the same problem with my wrangler. It had something to do with the battery not giving enough juice to the alternator to keep the car running. It'd start and die if I wasn't giving it gas. I had jumped the car and left the cables on for a few seconds longer than normal and it was fine. Try jumping it with the stock ecu.

I had a dead battery on the s and bought a new and had to replace the new one too. Could be a bad new battery. Take it to autozone and get it tested.

He already said he could keep the car running if he gave it gas so I don't think that's it. The alternator keeps the battery charged, but he said his battery was JUST charged fully.

He said he replaced the battery, could be a bad "new" battery. Happend to me when i replaced my batter on the s.

well, he had me change the crank injector table, I did that on the 1052 calibration that comes with aem and it worked and was running on it. Than I did it on the map from evans and it would start but die, so I emailed jeff to see if he could just revise it, cause I dont want to mess with it not being a tuner. I am just happy that my ecu isnt fried and their was no majob problems! Well anyways I bought a new batt. ha, it would be time soon enough anyways being my factory batt. from 2003.
Thanks for all your help guys!

Unless someone on here knows what their doing, and could slightly alter the map so it starts and stays running to help me out!
