    Any tuning experts?

    Hello looking for some tuning advise. I got the car started it idles nicely, but turn it off it won’t start while hot. I have a good understanding of the basic tuning principles and have been making progress slowly. However I would greatly appreciate any assistance that could be rendered my way. The plan is to have dasikvas do a dyno tune next season when finances have recovered but for now just want to get the car driving and enjoy the summer.

    If anyone has experience and is willing to come by and assist I will happily provide a case of whatever you choose

    Trying to recall what was the issue when I had my Fox and and it was either the module on the distributor or the sensor on the TB.

    I guess it would be wise to look for mechanical problems before assuming it is a tuning issue

    Yes cuz you're issue doesn't sound tune related a tune is a piece of software that either works or doesn't it doesn't change on it's own once it's written it stays that way unless the tuner makes changes to the tune file.

    Scenario your explaining sounds all too common for TFI failing. Any chance you have MSD dist (most common to fail).

    The battery is still in the factory location. I should also mention that it will start when hot if I hold the throttle to the floor
