ASP Stage 3: Car won't start :-(
Had the car back from ASP for about a week or two. Started fine for the first few days (when it was in the 70s). Temperature dropped into the 30s-40s and now the car won't start. At first it just had a hard time starting, now I can't get it to start at all. Had the car towed to the dealer when this first started (when I was at home) and had them check everything else that could be causing this. But when the car started fine once it warmed up outside, it was pretty obvious its just a really bad cold-start issue. Car cranks but does not start. I'm out at school, and I live off campus, so this is a pretty bad situation.
Any ideas? I live 3 hours from ASP, so having it towed back isn't really possible and I don't have the time to drive it there myself. Is this something I should be able to correct myself? I need a car to get to class Monday morning, or else I'm walking.

Dang, sorry man. I guess every tuner has their share of problems, no magical perfect tuner.
I'd be pissed about paying $300 for poorly installed injectors as well as the non-starting. Is that ASP's fault or did they not touch the injectors and the problem occurred when you originally installed them yourself? Regardless, this stinks. Good luck getting it all figured out. So much for Mark@ASP saying you never hear about problems with their work and tuning...this thread is definitely not the fist time.

got lemmi? I was looking into cold start misfires myself
I have ASP stage 3 but I'm parked in my garage so I don't know if the problem exhists in my car but I have the occasional misfire code.
Seems like others have had success with cold start issues by decreasing ch-04 start-up fuel enrich and ch-05 warm-up fuel enrich in lemmi. try pulling 20% in each and see if that helps.

Not starting as in "how?" Not cranking? Not firing? Fires but won't run?
They all mean different things. I'd be on the phone to ASP before AW. So many variables, without details its hard to throw out ideas at to what might be wrong. Fuel, spark or air are the three variables.
What code was it??

Cranks but does not start. ASP is closed till Monday... I would kinda like to be able...
to leave my apartment and buy some food before then, lol ;-)
Trust me, if I have to walk to class on Monday, I'll be calling ASP, I just don't have the time to tinker with it myself during the week. If there is an easy fix I can try in the meantime, that doesn't risk messing things up, I'd like to try.
