That COULD be the problem, I'm in Cali and the coldest it got here when i was driving was like 48.
Not sure though man, once my car started on the stock ECU i tossed my keys on the floor since I knew the EMS was done. AEM can fix it though, you're not COMPLETELY up S*** creek. How old is it?

What size injectors? Try giving it a little bit of throttle when it starts on the stock ECU, if it responds and runs it seems your EMS may be the problem.
I had a dead battery on the s and bought a new and had to replace the new one too. Could be a bad new battery. Take it to autozone and get it tested.

He already said he could keep the car running if he gave it gas so I don't think that's it. The alternator keeps the battery charged, but he said his battery was JUST charged fully.

^ i know that's the same problem I had with the wrangler was it would only run while giving it gas... Same issue.
He said he replaced the battery, could be a bad "new" battery. Happend to me when i replaced my batter on the s.

well, he had me change the crank injector table, I did that on the 1052 calibration that comes with aem and it worked and was running on it. Than I did it on the map from evans and it would start but die, so I emailed jeff to see if he could just revise it, cause I dont want to mess with it not being a tuner. I am just happy that my ecu isnt fried and their was no majob problems! Well anyways I bought a new batt. ha, it would be time soon enough anyways being my factory batt. from 2003.
Thanks for all your help guys!
