Could be a bad connection on the GPR. I had the same problem with mine, it was a bad connection coming from the computer. Just my two cents.

Well the mystery may be solved. It did some testing w/ the VOM on the GPR and it seems to be functioning as designed. So I try to cold start (relative, it's 60ish but the engine was cold) and it will not start. I then remember I just started playing with the "Extreme" setting on my chip when this all started. SO I check the switch position and it is in the "Extreme" postion. Turn it down one notch and BAM she starts right up. I shut her off and try again in "Extreme" and no start. Switch down one she starts.
So why it does not want to "cold" start in the "Extreme" postion is beyond me. But that seems to be the deal.:dunno

Will it start warm in the extreme position? Or after getting started can you flip to extreme wiht no problems?

I can flip it to Extreme w/ no problems. As far as HOT starting I'm not sure, I have not tried yet. It is noisy in Extreme when cold though. :cowboy:

It maybe the programming on the chip, I am guessing the computer is seeing parameters that aren't right and won't start.

That is just a guess though.

Oh, it will eventually start in the EXTREME position, you just have to let it crank continously for a little while before it will start. Kind of like the GP's are out. It then blows whitish smoke.

No biggie, I just will use one of the other 3 postions to start.
