    Post hard time starting

    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?

    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
