So I installed an esmeril kit with an int-x ems about a week and a half ago, and everything was running fine other than the car running extremely rich. I also upgraded my ignition with BHR and installed new plugs.
I tuned the car to a conservative setting before going out on a 1500 mile Texas trip, the car responded fine and everything was working dandy. I made it to my destination on friday night. Saturday morning my car started fine again other than it taking a little longer to crank on(I figured it was the hotter Miami weather tune.)
So I drove it around for about an hour and parked it. The next morning (maybe 14 hours had passed) the car would not start, seemed like my battery was drained, so I jumped it and the car turned on normally. I figured I left something on and with the battery being so small it drained it. I drove the car after that w/o any problems, parked it and forgot about it thinking everything was normal. This morning I tried starting it and it had the same symptoms of a drained battery, but this time when I jumped it the car would not start, you can hear the turbo spool up and the engine try to crank up but it just wont start. Any ideas anyone?

 

WTF? Uh, no. No you don't. lol

The Int-X has a known battery drain issue. Search.

 

Ok maybe not spool but turn? lol

 

The car won't even start while being jumped, that's what's wierd about it.

 

Maybe it's flooded because you tried to start it repeatedly with a drained battery?

Not sure, worth checking..

 

Is the battery completely drained ? If so jump starting will be difficult as it is probably flooded as well .

Have you tried push or pull starting ?
Also : yes the Int x was known to drain batteries if hooked up wrong .

 

Get someone to give you a pull, and drop it into second gear. It should more than likely start. But if you are saying that its running rich, I am putting my money on it being flooded.

When you are getting a jump start, try holding down the gas pedal to disable the fuel pump from injecting more fuel into the engine. if not you may need to take out the spark plugs and crank the engine over to get all of the fuel out of the engine.

 

Hi,
I have the same kit on my car. Your MAP need to be change slightly for the warmer temp. Your engine probably runs too rich and flooded the engine. I do not know how to program the Intercept X so I can't help you. Mine has winter map and when the temp fell below 30F it difficults to start. It takes long cranks that at times would drained that small battery. Car starts much better when the temp is around 40-50 F (that when we tuned the car).

And like others have said, some Intercept X might drain the battery.
