Since I'm not too keen on these engines...I thought I'd ask here.

My friend has one and it takes a long time to crank over and fire.

He has some mods like sticks and box/programmer... would that cause this?

I just don't want him to burn something up.

Sorry I can't be more precise with modifications...

 

Injectors shot.. One thing. There is a re-flash for long starts out there too.

I know on my 05 I had the same problems and 4,5,6 were toast!!

But it runs like a scalded dog.

I mean FAST!!!

 

The TSB, number 18-003-06 REV. A dated September 27, 2006

"The vehicle operator may experience extended engine crank time in cold ambient
temperatures on vehicle equipped with manual transmissions.

This Flash also provides the following enhancements:

* Improved Automatic Transmission shifting
* Engine fan is activated if the coolant temperature sensor fails
* Enhanced battery charging"

Good luck.

 

Would 60* be considered cold?

(I assume yes)

 

Does anyone know if the Smarty has had that TSB flashed into it?

 

Im not saying its the lift pump but on my 04 when the lift pump was going out of it, it would have a longer start than normal

 

Even when my injectors were toast it ran like a scalded dog.. Does it smoke like a bandit?? With no power adders??? Mine smoked more without the bd and quad that with the chips!!

I'm having the same problem with mine even after the smarty so I'm assuming that the smarty doesen't have the TSB flashed into it, either that or Luvnacumns is right about the injectors I will have to put it back to stock and see if it still smokes. fuel pressure is good so my lift pump isnt the problem
