Does anyone having starting problems running AEM V2 and running ID2000s on E85? I have a lot of issues starting up. I needs a lot of juice to start, my battery alone for the most part cannot start the car. Im not sure if that. battery is bad or if the AEM just needs a lot of juice to start up. It also takes a few seconds to turn over. It ends up cranking for a about 5-10

 

Hot or cold?

 

cold for the most part. I haven't driven it around enough to see if it has a issue hot. Although once the fans turn on it bogs and turns off sometimes if its idling and I couldn't get it start again, the fans drained the battery.

 

What fans do you have? I have twin SPAL Extremes and I had to add a capacitor to cope with the amps they were pulling.

 

Dual spals, they draw a huge amount of power.

 

Hmm. Sounds like a tune issue. Are fans on moment you turn key to on?

 

No, they aren't. Yeah might be a tuning issue. Tuner said that it should be better with the new firm ware update and higher pulse when using E85. I wonder if Hondata has a better time starting the car.

 

AEM needs battery to be at a perfect 12.5 to start w no probs. sometimes mines not enuf if I have 12.2-.3. I have battery terminal that reads volts so I know right away whether ill need jumpbox or not.

 

Ah, thats the problem then. Its falling to 12.1 and below. Maybe I need a new battery. I have a terminal that reads voltage as well. Thank you. I am wondering if Hondata might be a better solution then if this is the case with AEM.

 

I have pretty much the same setup and mine cold starts just fine
