So I know ppl say it takes longer to start e85 which happens to me and car cranks and just needs a bit before it starts, but what I'm concerned about is if I leave the car and not start it in say 24 hours it sometimes does not even start/crank. It clicks but doesn't turn over. I can hear the fuel pump on (rewired Wally) but takes a good 5 minutes of trying to get it to turn over. Seems to work best if it moves out of its spot. Is this something with the 1680fic high imp injectors/ fuel pump/ or maybe just not getting the right spark with the iridium plugs (reccomended by tuner over copper) also I didn't change gap from when it came in.. Help me please because this is becoming annoying

Ps have a 2.4 but never had a problem until injectors/plugs/fuel pump went in with tune

 

Clicking and not turning over has nothing to do with E85, check your starter/solenoid if it's going bad.

 

Hmm so I guess it was just an odd coincidence thy it happened then. NevEr had an issue before with starting that's why I asked

 

Check your battery

 

Starter could be starting to go. If you have the same issue again, I would definitely look at replacing the starter. Mine did the same thing twice, then the starter just kicked the bucket.

 

Regarding your cold start issues. If its taking more than 2 cranks to start, have your tuner go into the cold start tables & rich'n the values.

Maybe your issue has been leaning on the starter / battery too much

 

Mine had bad starts too, but that's because i needed more spark.

 

First off sorry for a hue bump just googled the issue and this was the first thing to come up

Glad I found this topic. I guess im gonna have to get with my tuner because since im running on e85 now the car normally takes 3 to 5 times to start. No clue why. I need to get my wideband working again cause i've got no clue wtf is going on with the car.

Now once the cars started for the day it turned over every single time perfectly though.


This is a gst with a 255 walbro and 1050cc injectors.

 

Yes, see your tuner & richin the cold start tables as noted above. This is a common issue

 

This.
You could verify this easily by using a FULL CHARGED and NEW battery.

 

Re-read your post, change your battery.



Plugs should be gapped. I believe the irridiums are huge out of the box? Denso I'm assuming, can anyone confirm?

That being said, tuning bigger injectors on e85 for perfect behavior in all conditions is an art few tuners will nail in one shot.

+2-3 on the Battery, not only will cranking suck but I swear it messes with injector latencies.

 

type of fuel has nothing to do with your starter turning. check batt and connections to starter.
