So lately since its being cold my car is very hard to start. it has taken up to 15 minutes to get it to start. sometimes it drained the battery because it wouldnt start and when the engine does start i have to rev up cause it bogs down so bad it stalls the engine. this only happens the car has been sitting for a while. as of right now i do not know what to do. i mean all the car does now when i try to start it is turn the engine. anyone have any ideas? the only mods are the SOS s/c kit with big bore TB running the SOS reflash you get. here is a vid of what all it does.[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQRMIwQv95o [/media]

 

Ditch the reflash, go with a real engine management system, and you can fix that issue.

With a reflash, it might be something you have to live with, unless you contact them.

 

well its a hondata reflash. i also have the hondata flashpro but there is no tuner within 300 miles. its wierd cause it started good all this month until today.

 

well i pulled the plugs. they were all nicely wet with fuel and black. so now i put the stock ones back on and ordered some new stock ones. i was running one step colder

 

What is your compression on the cylinders?
Sounds just like my recent problem...

 

Sounds like you are getting no spark. It probably is the re-flash. Contact Chris at SOS.

 

...if that doesn't work- use your FlashPro to get a datalog of the problem and email it to Evan's Tuning. They'll likely be able to figure out what's going on. They actually tune cars remotely all the time.

 

I would suggest letting Jeff Evans do an etune for you. He did my stage 2 sos tune and the car runs flawless.

 

thats what my car sounds like when i tried it with my aem!!! even got a base map tune... my tuner is about 60 miles away.. we got snow here and i don't like my s in snow.. just gonna wait till next year when its nice again.. i put my stock ecu and injectors on soo i can at least let it idle till i can tow it to the tuner lol

 

depending on the weather, it sounds like your plugs might of fouled out and did not produce enough spark through all 4 cylinders, thats why you saw fuel on the spark plugs because it was running rich and slowly flooded.

Had my tuner overnight me two sets of half step hotter plugs because mine was doing the exact same thing yours did. Put the new ones in, charged the battery and got it running.

I would suggest you bring it to your tuner and have them retune it with a more efficient engine management unit!
