On a cold start I am having to press and hold the gas pedal just a little to keep the car started or else it will shut off. After about a minute I can release the pedal and it will idle without shutting off. Can anyone tell me what is going on? :thinking:

its prob a IAC/Tune issue.

Do you have a skunk2 intake manifold? or aftermarket manifold?

List your COMPLETE mods , injector size, ecu etc

Ever since I unhooked the heater hoses from my throttle body, My car does the same thing.

thats your problem, you need tuning.

When the car is warm im willing to bet it prob cranks up alot easier.

You need fuel trimming and timing adjustments done.

If you need tuning, PM me, i sell chipped ECUs and have a dynojet.

you will gain alot of power with tuning, and much better idle and drivability

You are right, it does start alot easier when the car is warm. As soon as I get my money up I will hit you up. Thanx for the info:goodjob:
