Hey all,
My car has had an issue where if it's not up to operating temperature (about 160), and it goes into drive or reverse, it stalls out. No problem, it would always start right back up. Last month I switched over to E85, the mods are in my sig. Ran fine the first few times I had the car out testing it. I dropped the fuel pressure 5-7psi down to 43-44 per Eric's instructions for a new chip. First time after the fuel pressure was adjusted, the car stalled (it was before it warmed up to operating temp). No big deal, I go to start it and it cranks but doesn't fire. Try it again with the same result. It cranks and has a rapid clicking/grinding sound and doesn't fire. Waited about 5 minutes, then it finally fired and idled very low, I blipped the throttle and it sped up to normal idle. I reset the chip today and it still did the same thing. It starts fine on cold starts, but it will grind/click when it dies from not being up to operating temperature. I'll try to get a video later today to demonstrate. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kelly
