Cold start


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hey guys. Just wandering if the car is really cold as in environment. would it effect whether it starts. Got car back from Gary and started second pop and started first pop last night but tonight I went to start it and just turns over but doesn\'t start. Theres fuel as FPR shows 43psi solid. Sparking is my only question. I haven\'t changed the plugs but what\'s the possibility they all got knackered?

Changed plugs to bkr7e ngk. Not platinums or anything flash. Gonna change every oil change. Started first pop :) and runs real good now.

i read somewhere here that copper sparks are actually the best. just you have to change them more often is that true?

so buying the expensive types seems like a bit of a rip at the end of the day???? or is it each to their own and whatever one person wants to believe lol

Copper does conduct better, but yes to require more frequent changes oppose to platinums

The expensive ones last about 5~10 times longer than copper plugs so the cost works out in the end.

my cars been a bitch in the cold and its in a garage :P I thought my starter motor was on the way out as it makes a grrrrr sound after starting the car.

I had to replace the main heater hose as it was just starting to leak water and i think some went into the starter motor.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
