Default Need AEM EMS Help!

Need to figure out why my car won't crank over/start. It fires and sputters, but won't turn over the entire way. What values should I be checking? It was running last week. I have a half tank of gas. I checked the fuses and they are all fine.

Dan, are you sure you're holding the start button in long enough? With the EMS, the car will require a few more revolutions to crank up. You'll need to hold it down 2-3 seconds longer than usual. My tuner tells me that this is unavoidable.

I held it down for like 30 seconds, it just cranks and sputters. Like it's trying to get started but can't.

This sucks because i need to drive this to get tuned with UL on Monday. So any help would be appreciated. BTW, stock ECU doesn't work with this car, because of the ITBs. I tried already.

The ITBs run off of 480cc injectors. Not sure about the temps, to be honest with you.

If you got the EMS from Sean, call him. Sounds like a cold crank variable needs some tweaking.

Sean? No I bought it used from Art (topfuel) with his maps for the ITBs. I've tried using them and they didn't work, I was able to use the stock maps from AEM Forums. But now they don't seem to be working either.

I don't have his number just his email. I sent him one, I am hoping he sees this thread.
