Help! FM2 Turbo Won't Start in Dallas!
Hey...
I have had a FM2 turbo (with Megasquirt) for 2 years now and it has always had cold start issues, it takes several times to get it to fire and hold RPMs high enough...
However, took it out for a drive yesterday and stopped and tried to start it back up, and it won't fire at all...finally wore the battery down...
I have known i need to get the cold starting/dying at first issue fixed, but now it is a ASAP issue, as i can't leave it where it is, and being new to Dallas TX, i have no idea who to take it to, since it most likely needs the ECU remapped or some such fix, and a local normal mechanic will not know what to do...
Ideas? Ideas for who to go to in Dallas for an ASAP issue?
Thanks
Randy

I would never take my car to a normal mechanic and ask them to do anything that involved the ECU. There is not a chance in hell they will know what a megasquirt is anyway, let alone have a laptop setup with Megatune or Tunerstudio.
If you have a laptop, then you CAN solve this yourself. MS is really user friendly and if you're going to have this car for awhile, it's best you get familiar with the ECU.
