Default Car wont start please help

ok it started getting colder outside now my car wont start. I do have cooler plugs dont know if that has anything to do with it, there gapped at 35. have a diablo tune and even tried to set it back to stock and it still doesnt help. If i try and start it and it doesnt start then I let it set for a few seconds and it starts sometimes. help please. I also have MAF ends which cause all sorts of problems but i tuned for that.

Don't know what's going on, assume you don't have any codes since you have a predator. Is it cranking normally other than just no start? Might be a fuel filter/pump issue - I'd check the pressure. Try turning the key to run, wait a few seconds until the pump stops priming, then start and see what happens. Just an idea...

I did leave the key on for a second then I start it that works about 1/2 the time. Dont know if its fuel because the wide band is ***** on. It does start better when I wait a second with the key on.

I would hook a fuel preeure gauge to it before you crank. It seems like the fuel is taking a while to pressurize, that's why when you leave the key on it's building pressure. Anyway, fuel pressure gauges are only $30, good to have one around. good luck

Open your fuse box. Swap your number two fan relay for the ignition relay. Let me know if that works.
