Default struggling to start

Hey guys since my car is turbo'd..cold starts car will struggle to start but it does after the 2nd or 3rd try.

But won't start if the car has been driven unless I remove the water temp sensor and then start the car, so each time I have to open my hood and do that which really sucks !!

Now I have changed 2 sensors but still my problem is there..anything I can check before I swap my whole wiring? Cause I seriously had enough of the start up thing.

Sounds like the problem is in your cold start tune.

Your temp corrections for fuel and ignition sound to be off a bit. take it back to the tuner and have them adjust it accordingly to get a better cold start and warm restart. Also one thing you can try for warm restarts, while the car is running unplug the idle control motor, if the car dies out then your throttlebody needs to be adjusted. if it doesnt die out then thats not your warm restart problem
