My 2008 spyder has 31,000 miles.,when you start it it will start and run for less than 1 second then dies.on second start will start and run perfect.did it a couple times a week .now about every time.once it it running it never dies again.I did have the key break out of the ignition last fall.got it out and using the spare.not shure if it's related.I have a new battery this spring and cables are tight.I searched around and didn't find anything on my problem.I'm thinking the imoblizer isn't reading correctly at startup.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

My first thoughts would run to bad fuel, a fuel delivery problem, or bad plugs or plug wires. It will take a good, old-fashioned mechanic to track it down...possibly through trial and error. A visit to your dealer might be a good place to start, if you have a talented technician. Beyond that, I'd try things in this order:
1. Marine Stabil or Seafoam in fuel
2. Replace fuel filter
3. Replace plugs and wires (preferably with BajaRon's products)

My dealer can't keep a mechanic and they still can't fix my power steering lol. I have ran 5 + tanks through it.I have a filter I can put on it.I'm thinking it's electrical it's like I hit the kill switch.no sputter ,nothing.just dies.I hate trying to find a intermittent problem.....

Yep, intermittent problems can be a bear! Other possibilities...bad kill switch, water in the kill switch, or bad DESS unit. Could also be a loose connection in that area. Best of luck in your search. BTW, a resonably good tech with BUDS can sort through a few of these possibilities using BUDS. Sorry you don't have a good one.
