yeah i jus got back home from class ima check the plugs n f/ic wires to make sure they are all in the pins cause u never know what freak thing could happen but i wouldnt think it would be the map on start up mike tuned me back in the begining on june n the car has run fine n started up fine it has been a recent issue over the past 8 days or so but its starting to happen more frequent now i went to start my car to go to class this morning n it took about 3 cranks n then it started i got out of class which the car only sat for about 1 hour 25min n it took me 4 cranks for the car to start

Fuel pump going out?
When I had a 03' gmc Yukon when my fuel pump was going out it took long to crank like your car is doing.

Was there a decent temp change over the past 8 days from when you where tuned?

johnnyb305mia

i jus checked the plugs n they were ok nothing out of the usual n f/ic wires were fine as well....could the fuel pump going out only cause it to take long to start up or would it affect driveing as well?

nah paul i live in miami n i have been tuned for a while but nah its been hot for the longest 88-92 constantly every day since about mid july

Dear John,

You may want to look into the AEM FIC it self, As we have seen many of those units add additional crank time to starting, mostly due to the way it intercepts cam/crank signals. Some work like oem.. Some take extra cranks!

I would say 4 turns on a AEM FIC is normal. But maybe check with others here, and or friends.

Have a good day

lol this!

johnnyb305mia

yes i do but nothing out of the ordinary and the codes have already been discussed with mike n i am not equipped to check the rest
justin i lold at that

but yesterday i decided to play with the f/ic wires n they were all in and stuff nothing out of placed but all i did was play around with them n the last 4 times and it started perfect so now im really puzzled...

yellow8

what codes do u get?

johnnyb305mia

P0420 thats for not having the cat
P0411 n P0455 n those are for having a bad gas cap (even thought my gas cap clicks n locks very well n doesnt stay loose)
