Hey I'm new here and I've just supercharged my automatic TC. THe problem I have is when I start the car for the first time in the day. Its starts really lazy and the RPM is about 500. I notice the throttle response a little low. It has already turned off once when I was heating the engine in the morning. Some people tell me that the engine is running a little low on fuel. Has anyone has the same problem? Can anyone help me? Thanks.

 

are you sure it was reflashed?

 

yes im sure it was reflashed. you can notice the diference rpm.

 

I had that same problem. Cold mornings it'll feel like the engine is struggling to keep from stalling. However I haven't had it die on me before. I had this problem since July.

 

so you still have the same problem?

Yes i mean i "have" that problem. Lately if it starts, it'll start off lazy then it'll idle higher around 1 - 1.5k, if it dies it'll die quickly. Mine usually takes 2 cranks to start in cold mornings outside. I created a similar thread and the response I got was that it is a common problem in Xb's.

 

people tell me to check the fuel-air ratio because TC's run a little low on fuel because of the supercharger. I dont know how true that is. The other thing I'm thinking about is reflashing the computer again. I'm hopping someone here has solve the same problem.

 

sparkplugs?

check all connections, might be a vac issue.

 

Its not the connections... I had the same problem when I had my automatic tC supercharged. I checked everything. I sold it before I solved the problem...

My final conclusions led that it was the oil return line to the S/C. After it sitting for so long, the oil would drain down the line and once cranked it pumped the oil again up. then shut it off then start on the second time and it starts up fine.

 

I will check all the option to see if the problem stops. Thanks
