Question for my fellow Meth heads
Just had a meth kit installed, smaller pulley (A&A), and a tune... Here's the problem: If I drive the car aggressively and get into the meth a few times on my way somewhere and park, the car always has a problem with "light off" on the subsequent start, meaning it cranks fine, sounds like it gets it's initial shot of gas, then dies sometimes and almost dies other times.
Do I have a leaky meth nozzle, is it pooling somewhere, am I killing my engine? Please tell me someone else has had this issue and has the fix. For the record, my mechanic has never heard of this happening before. Someone throw some knowledge at me!

I noticed on one vehicle we installed a meth kit where the reservoir was close to he same height as the nozzle and when full it may have been just over the nozzle, that it seemed it was dripping out off the nozzle while sitting. So I would just check the reservoir/nozzle placement

About all I can suggest is disconnect the meth line and do some testing to verify the meth system really is the issue. Cap/plug the meth nozzle, deactivate the system, and do some driving while staying out of the boost.
I had a similar issue that I never really got to the bottom of. I looked into the throttle area after parking the car and never saw anything, but I suppose it could have been vapor at that point. Don't think I ever tried actually disconnecting the line, though. I'd try that first.

I had to return my alky controller as it was staying on even when shutting ignition off or turning control **** off. I agree to eliminate it by shutting it off or disconnecting it (pull the fuse) and see if it still happens.
