    long crank to start

    Since we switched to XFI (2.051) it seems to take longer cranking time before the engine fires. Going to check the crank sensor but what are good settings for cranking fuel table (60 lb injectors) and global setup parameters? Anything else? I know most GN's are not great at instant starts.

    FAST XFI 2.0 idle

    Just started working with this system and thought starting with refining the idle would be a good place to start. Motor is stock internals, Hemco, 60# injectors, 3 inch downpipe, Precision 6360 BB billet turbo. In my opinion this motor should idle at 750 rpm all day long with no problems...

    Cold idle problems

    Do not have scanner at this time, crapped out as I was working on this problem. Hope to have them soon. Symptoms: on cold start car will start fine, go to 1600 rpm's then drop to 1200, 800, 400..... die. If I use the throttle to warm it up it will drive pretty good except for slow response...

    Idle is worse with new heated O2 sensor

    Was having a slight hesitation off idle when the GN (87) was cold. After it warmed up was fine. I just put new spark plugs and wires on it. Car is close to stock. We thought that the Casper heated O2 sensor sounded like it would get rid of the problem so I made the change. First drive was...
