    have you checked all sensors are plugged in etc. some ecu's do not like to start the motor unless there is a signal from certain sensors. if this is fine, what is your battery voltage like? good luck with it...

    only thing i can think of is the mircotech in my car had like no cold start tune - as we were trying to start the car in the nighttime. allthough it was quite a warm night.. hmmm ??

    cold start means, a cold engine start, not a cold morning/night start, it doesnt matter if its a lovely 27 degrees out, it will start on a cold start tune if the engine is cold.

    Just thought i'd clear that up for you

    Cheers
