i parked my car in October for the winter. it drove fine this summer street tuned on 8lbs. i tried to move it recently to make some room in my garage and it wouldn't start. the temp outside is about 25 degrees. any input would helpful, or personal experience.

the motor is a 96 jdm gsr, tuned with crome pro.

thanks guys

nothing was abnormal about battery power, you can feel the cylinders a few times but not enough to get the motor running.

it's tuned on 92 octane.

i'll try it again tomorrow.

jasoncrashtech

is there an intake temp setting crome that needs to be changed for cold weather ?

it should not be in the tune my car is on chrome pro and it starts in the summer and winter the same you are looking at something with the motor or wiring or battery issues maybey something corroded how long has it been sitting? i am in spokane too if you think it is the tune you could try my ecu maybe

jasoncrashtech

the wiring hasn't been touched since i assembled everything and it drove fine this summer thru fall. i parked it mid october. i tried again yesterday to start it and it finally started but ran really ruff. it's probably cause it's been sitting for two months, the battery is fine, held a slow charge and everything else is in good shape. i was just wondering if i was missing any info, i haven't had problems with the car/motor/turbo set up before.

thanks guys

check your spark plugs! on my old 500whp DD civic, in the colder months I would have to change spark plugs one step warmer. So ie. Summer I ran NGK BKRE7's and winter months I had to run NGK BKRE6's, gapped according to your tune.

This happened to me my first winter with the car, and I tried everything to fix it, and it just turned out the plugs were too cold of a plug for the weather..

Hope this helps!

i hate to use the term "re-learn " on a honda, mostly because gm is better known for it but i got it to start yesterday. it ran like crap for about 5 minutes in idle then it smoothed out just like that. i had to remember it did that before when i took the car apart for the body and paint work. it drives fine now , i just got a little curious if i was missing something.

check your fitv , or your iacv that could of caused it

Could be bad gas. Gas turns to **** after some time when a car just sits. I wouldnt be rompin on it until you get some fresh gas in your tank.

jasoncrashtech

it's a jdm motor, no iacv

jasoncrashtech

has fresh gas in it but no worries runs just fine now.

Definitely sounds like cold start compensation table

If the car was tuned in the summer, the CSE was most likely untouched at the temps the car see now.

jasoncrashtech

it's still starting as of right now but i won't let it sit that long again.

I dont have any advice, but i feel for you. My GSR has been starting a little rough, if at all lately. I'm on E85 and it has been well below 0 lately...it sucks . I hope you get this figured out
