do any of you guys use ems stinger?

have you had any probelms?

i think my ems, is causing probelms for my car. i dont think if it's the stinger, but i've been having some trouble with my cold start.

it seems like when it's cold, the car runs rough, but once it warms up, it runs a whole lot smoother.

the spark plugs also always foul up.

do any of you guys have a stinger and have the same probelm?

i might be thinking of buying a new computer if i'm sure the probelms are from the ems stinger.

I have a Stinger.

Is yours in stand alone or piggy back mode ?? Mine is in piggyback mode with the std ECU - no problems with cold start.

It idles a bit higher than normal and fuel economy is ordinary (300kms per tank)

I did have a problem with the igniters and the EMS - EMS had to come out and modify the unit before the car would start.

However, all that said - my engine lost two cylinders a while ago. I don't know if was anything to do with the Stinger, but I don't trust it any more - So I'll be getting another ECU after the rebuild.

Dunno of that helps, but thoght I'd convery my experiences.

Cheers,

Vince does race cars not road cars, it's just the way he tunes. My datto doesn't idle too well when cold but i can accept that as it is a shitter that i drive very rarely. Where as if i had a nice car like a R33 i would be unhappy.
