PLS HELP - will hypertech chip make a difference ?

PLS HELP - will hypertech chip make a difference?
I talked to a mechanic who i work with at the wild animal park ( we service all vehicles in house ) about why my car doesn't start everytime. he said that since i've replaced the whole ignition sys, cleaned the injectors, and the starter isn't suffering from heat soak then it's either

- me needing to replace sensors that tell the engine how much fuel and air it gets based on the registered temperature

or

- a matter of needing an aftrmrkt chip since i have a hot cam & TES headers and other fun stuff

Has anyone else had that fix a hot start problem ? my car starts great when it's cold but if it's been running then i have to let it cool down for 15-20 minutes or it just cranks and cranks and cranks but never catches ... no fuel going into engine basically =/



any help is appreciated :hail: ... a lot

wrong spot for this really, tpi or tech help is the spot for this.

but anyway the hypertech wont help this problem at all you probably have a fuel pump relay that needs to be replaced. do a search on hard starting in tpi and tech and see what pops up, normally a fuel pump relay.

i have a hypertech and dont waste your money on a generic chip like these, they dont do much and definately wont cure your problem.
