Noticed Something When Remote Starting.........
Ok,
My situation is this, in the morning when I start the car with my remote start, the car will crank and start VERY quickly, fast enough that the programmed "crank" time is actually too long....
But after the car has been run for a while around town or what not, when I try to remote start the car again, more times then not, it wont crank on the first try, having to crank one or more times for it to fire up..
WHY is it that in the mornings the car will IMMEDIATELY fire up strong, but after its been driven, take SO much longer to crank?
In the mornings, the car will crank for too long, after its driven, it sometimes has to crank more then once...WHY?

same thing happens to me, i figure its because my fuel pump doesnt charge the system fast enuf when the engine is warm. in the mornings, the pump charges the system no problem and it fires up after half a crank. but sometimes when its warm i have to wait a few secs for the pump to prime the injectors b4 i can crank it over. i never thought anything of it, can you adjust the amout of time it cranks for?
