Water Injection - Difficult Start Issue

I've installed a water injection system into the car, however I've noticed that when the car sits for a couple days, it's difficult to start.

Car takes like 10-15 seconds on crank to start-up. After starting it feels like it's running on one rotor until, from what I'm guessing, the water to burn out of the first rotor housing.

Is it possible that the water injection is dripping into the first housing causing it to pool and making my car difficult to start?

Is this is a common problem with others running 100% water injection?

Feedback is appreciated from those with experience!

When I first installed my AEM system, it was electrically functionally correct. But, it would inject water under certain conditions when it should not have. It needed to have all +12V sources to be the exact same point.

Either you have a similar problem or your one way valves or solenoids are not working and allow water flow. Easy to tests, so why have you not done it?

Disconnect the inlet where it's feeding. And see if it drops any water into a secondary container. If it's working properly besides that. An easy fix would be moving the pump below the point of Injection. Unless it's somehow getting power to spray it's siphoning
