Default Start up question

Since installing a A&A SUPERCHARGER, been having trouble with starting the car. It acts like the battery is low, but it's fully charged, it hesitates a little then catches just fine. Alternator is fine too, the car hasn't been tuned yet with the A&A on so hoping that will take care of it. A friend said it might be the fuel pump not getting gas through with the A&A? Well it's getting tuned on 1-03-11, so hope that's the answer. But any suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't think the fuel pump would have any bearing on how your car turns over. Does it just turn over real slow?

If you have not already posted this in the FI section bring it over there too!

It's in the tune!, you also have a little extra load on the motor - did ou switch out the fuel injectors yet?

Or are they doing that at the shop - it needs to be done there at the tuning shop or you will have some trouble

Whatever you do stay out of the gas pedal - you do not need a lean condition

Thanks,Matt

Thanks, Matt, England Green did the install, and is going to do the tune next Monday. Yes they told me not to get into it and just drive it without leaving my foot in it.They didn't have time to do the tune, and I needed my car for the holidays since it's a DD. I'm hoping the tune takes care of it. L8R THE FLASH
