My car is stock and when I tried to get my car going on stock calibration it cranks but never really fired up. It did let a poof out the tailpipe though when I let the key go back from cranking and back to the "on" position. It wasn't necessarily a good "poof" and kind of sounded like a "knock" through the exhaust.

Any Suggestions?

 

Make sure you let the fuel pump prime. But I really think it is more of a "engine start" tuning issue. Let me know if you need help.

thanks dan.... one more thing... I could definetly smell gas when I was trying to start it. (smelled kind of like a boat/jet ski). Could that mean anything.

 

What is your a/f's at startup? Could be dumping too much fuel at start. What happens when you at startup go 100% throttle to clear a flood situation? (Be sure to let go of the gas if the car starts)

Isnt the stock calibration just a base map that will HELP you get your car started and running. I dont know what you plan to do about tuning the car - but have you considered taking it to a professional AEM factory tuner?

 

yes, I just want to get it started first... then I'll take it there

 

can u really drive the car with the stock calibration from aem?

 

I spoke with an AEM techy and he said it is EXACTLY the same as the mitsu stock calibration, if that is the case and your car is bone stock then the "still take it to a tuner" warning is mostly for liability protection

I have starting Problem too. My RPM goes up and down.....:-(
Here are my Start up Log, it is 8 min long.

Any comments?

You are having idle issues. You really need to take your car to a competant AEM tuner.

 

Have you printed the manual? Read it? Understand it? If you're not willing to do at least this then you're going to have problems. My car is heavily modified and I used this same start up cal, well mine is MAP. Fired up the first time perfectly. Now I am just going through and dialing in the appropriate parameters for my motor and turbo size. You dont need to take it to a tuner if you understand what you're doing first.

Or you could just take it to a tuner.
