So i recently installed my SoS Stage 1 into my 07 AP2. I have read and read everything but this issue just recently started to happen. now everytime i try to start the car it starts then dies. This only happens when the engine is cold and not when i have been going around driving. i recently did a trip to home and i had to use 91 gas cause there is not 93 gas. anyways im thinking its because i have put 91 instead of the 93 i put when im at my home. also im thinking my broken primary O2 sensor has something to do with this. Anyways after 6 or more tries it starts up like normal and its like nothing happend. i just wanted to see if anyone could input there suggestions. thanks! ill try to upload a vid in the next hr.

You should give Chris a call. There was a problem with starting issues on some of the cars with the Hondata re-flash.

You could also find out what your check engine light is for. That will help alot.

o shit that was fast... errors already happening with this kit. It can't be because of the 93 octane. Over here all we have is 91 octane. Something seems funny about the tuning with the hondata

do you have oem plugs in? maybe the plugs are too cold (step wise), i know last winter i had trouble starting bc the plugs were a couple steps colder than oem, once it heated up everything was fine but then it got so cold that it wouldnt start at all so i threw in oem plugs and started right up... weird but it worked for me

All Hondata reflash cars with larger injectors (SOS, Kraftwerks, Vortech) start properly in my experience.

If your car has an existing check engine light, there is an existing problem that more than likely will affect the starting performance of the vehicle. A "broken O2 sensor" - not sure exactly what that means, will definitely cause poor starting performance. Please address this, and determine if it is the cause of your check engine light, before proceeding.

It's premature to jump to such a conclusion with an existing issue on the car.

There is nothing wrong with Hondata. There was a few guys that had a couple of hick ups in the beginning with cold start issues. No big deal! Problem was fixed.

Im sure the check engine light will probably answer your question to your starting issues.

Thats what the forums are for. I'm jumping to a Potential conclusion of why its starting up poorly. Your guys set-up IS new. There will always be errors in new products

also... i used to have random hic-up's on my s/c set-up before... Then i got it re-tuned and i never had this issue again.. even on the coldest days to the hottest days. just throwing out a guess you know

DeadZero

ya thats what i was thinking LOL. a Hic-up in the ecu is very possible. but who knows... To the OP... did this happen only today or have u been having this issue for some time now?
