Hard to start after engine is warm
Hey
Was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction . Have a 2012 zl1 Installed the following BTR stage 3 cam kit FIC ( clinic ) 850 injectors 2.55/9.1 pulleys LT headers Roto fab intake Had it tuned and car runs great but have starting problems after its warm. Cold starts are ok but after driving the car and it sits for awhile it's pain to start back up.. Have to sometimes give it a little gas to fire. Any ideas what the problem could be in the tuning ? |

Headers can do that

Sounds like it's in the tune. If the starter was hot it wouldn't crank at all.

If you had the mods for a while it isnt the tune, if it started right after the mods look at your tune, check your batt cables.
If you need to replace your battery, i put ACDelco 94RAGM Professional AGM Automotive BCI Group 94R Battery (back in nov, works great) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006N91C2M?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf |

I'm lost to as why it would be the battery? It cranks over fine, it just won't fire right away. It's has started happenin right after I got it tuned with the new injectors

Since it started rite after the injectors and tune then its probably the tune but Get a heat wrap for your starter. Longtube headers are really close to the starter and the heat will kill it. I had the same problem then I got a heat wrap and it helped. But get your battery checked. These cars are finiky with all the electronics its has.

Typical with new injectors. I bet your makeup pulse minimum is still at the stock setting. I always lower this slightly with bigger injectors. Just for fixing the issue you are describing
