with the warm starts, that has to do with your tune. if you had it tuned by a 'tuner' i would have them fix that, as that is part of a tuning session..

Not necessarily. Others have been having the "hot start" failures (myself included) even after corrective tuning. My car was recently re-tuned by mase and we thought we had the issue resolved...only to have it happen again.

I believe the issue may be related to the starter wiring. One local member has built a custom heat shield, and the problem went away. I may end up going the same route.

BTW, I have the 1052.

no dont buy or get anything until you have taken it to the tuner most likely its in the tune... then if it that doesnt work i would start thinking about reprograming the aem.... we use the aem ems on k20's we build and most of them always have a start up problem on cold start.... half an hour on the tuners and its all good to go...
