here is the problem fresh built motor and installed microtech Lt8s done all work my self. first time starting the car, it fired right up. i was missing a charge pipe so i didnt start braking the motor in so for the hell of it i would start every once in a while. after a while got harder to start. then it stoped starting all together. so i changed spark plaugs fired right up agein. then slowly the same thng happens agein. i thought it could have been the cold start on the microtech so i played with that a lil no major changes. to get no luck. i also took away some fuel down low in the fuel map that didnt work so i tryed adding some still didn't work so i returned it back to where it was when i started. P.S. this is a my best friends car and an fc. thanx for the help 102nd7

I am running a tech3r and its not 100% tuned. I managed to get it started but it will only run a couple of days before the plugs fowl out. Once the plugs fowl, thats it for the plug. Once the plug gets coated with carbon the energy from the spark has to go somewhere, unfortunetly its internal to the spark plug. I bought new plugs once and they were fowled the following night. I can't afford new ones every week either. Tried to clean them and no start. Bought a new set and started right up. Only once I was able to clean them. My final answer is that its the tune. In my car its the starting enrichment that isn't right.

that was my origanal thought was cold start and i played with cold start enrichment for hours trying to get it right to just put it back to where it was when i got it.

...get out the manual and start checking volts and Ohms on you ignition system.
Is your engine grounded?
