Enzo New Member 3 Member For: 4y 9m 13d Posted 11/12/21 08:21 AM Posted 11/12/21 08:21 AM After some advice fg xr6 na + T tuned been having an issue, cold start in cold weather car starts first crank but if the cars been sitting in the heat or sitting for about 20 min after car was running at normal temp the car will take a while cranking approx 3 seconds before it starts and sometimes it stalls after first crank tuner said he can’t fix it as everything on tune looks good, he had it for a week did a few touch ups but still no luck any idea what it could be? Cheers in advanced Running a na engine bare with all turbo factory parts

But running an N/A engine with turbo stuff could be any sort of problem. Impossible to accurately diagnose over the internet. 1

Also the tuner is a good company who does mainly jdm cars pushing big power however did another fg turbo with factory turbo engine but no problem only problem we both have in common is black smoke puff on startup only once not continuous. Thanks again also pushing 15psi locked and running turbo factory bf map sensor 4 bar Edited 11/12/21 09:04 AM by Enzo

If they all have bad compression, you'd know it already ahha. 1
