So sometimes ill go for a drive, then stop turn the car off, come back 30 mins later and when I go to turn the car on it will turn over easily enough put it won't fire, if I push the accelerator then it comes alive but it will literally not fire unless i press the throttle... and this only happens when it's warm, it's running a Power FC and im starting to think whoever tuned it has no f**king clue.. it seems like they haven't haven't even bothered with a coldstart map or anything, just power runs....for 8 PSI...

Take it back to them and get them to fix the tune then? If your not happy and it has a running issue then they should fix it

The tune was done by the previous owner and was done a year or so ago. So wouldn't he have taken it back immediately if he noticed it was sheeeit? coldstart + A/C it just stalls when you take out the clutch, it's miserable to drive in the morning on the way to work haha

Does Nissan have some cold start sensor or relay or something? that could be on it's way out??

How come in post #1 it's a hot start problem, and in post #4 suddenly it's a cold start problem?

because it has both brah. And a tune would also cause hot start/cold start issues. And so would one of the sensors

Depending if it's overfuelling or under fueling when starting

Might be injectors leaking or cranking enrichment in tune once warm needing touch up but these are only guesses

Need to get the car properly diagnosed

I Called a shop to book it in to have a major look over this issue as well as retuning it.. only problem is that they are booked out until after WTAC and I wanted these issues sorted before then so I could drive down... :/ It has Deatschwerks injectors which could not be more than 3 years old so while that is a possibility i highly doubt it..

Am I allowed to name the company to see if anybody has had issues/similar issues with this company or is bad-naming not allowed?

Where are you located? Lots of shops in NSW.

Im in brisbane, There are a fair few up here too but I really only trust this one shop with tuning, I might call some other shops though and see what they say

Do you have a datalogit? If you can get your hands on one. Backup your current tune the reinitalize the ecu. Let it do its cold start setup and then drive the car until its warm and shut it odf and restart it. If issue persists then its hardware at fault.

I had a cold start issue. Car would never start first go. After many people suggesting the water temp sensor, contact cleaner on the afm sensor had the car starting instantly every single time and improved drivability 10 fold.

Try adding more fuel to the cranking table for that particular temperature it's being a little shit to start at.

Also if your injectors are dirty, this would also attribute to starting issues as it's leaner.

Has this developed recently?

Yes but I also bought the car recently but for the first month or so I never noticed it so that's why I'm not 100% on it just being the tune

And I don't have access to one man :(

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
