Default Having start up issues on my ap1

So I installed the AEM V2 Standalone Ems about a week ago and got it tuned.. Now my car turns over 3-4 times befor firing up. And some times it just turns over and no fire up what so ever. My 1 s2k buddie said my Crank Postion Sensor could be going bad... And idea's what it could be... Befor I had aem v2 and car tuned/dyno car would run/ start up fine...any help would help me out... Bc I'm trouble shooting. Thanks for reading

I'd bet money its in the tune. The guys a Real Street talked about this in a post of theirs. Basically there are some settings you can tweak to get better cold startups with v2 of the EMS.

Definitely the tune
There's only 2 or 3 main settings (only 1 is really trial and error) that affect cold start or starting in general. Seriously consider taking care of it yourself for free

The only thing you need from a dyno tuner is a good
The idle, start, accel, decel is not so bad to do it yourself with great results.

Post a pic of your starting tab let's see if it was even changed from the stock basemap lol

I hear ya.....that's just crazy though. It would've been more worth your money to just drive somewhere, install it and have it tuned. I think the going rate around here is somewhere in the neighborhood of 5-600$ and they're done properly....
