Post by: nadz on December 06, 2012, 11:01:22 AM
I have had an issue since yesterday now early morning start I start the via remote start and the car take strugles to start it pops and then re starts and it starts is this due to it being really cold or an issue? But otherwise on hot it starts fine and after 6hours it starts fine. Just the early morning start. Any ideas.

Probably the cold start settings in the map, if on pfc now the weather is cold.

Could be a weak battery too, cold weather does kill them a lot ! May just be taking more to turn over and dumping fuel into the exhaust !

Cool give me a call when your ready, you have correction factors for different temperatures, see how it is with the key.

started the car today with the key started fine. i think its due to the cold weather as i had to press the accelerator slightly for it to start straight away. without it strugling.
