• 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.

Warm start issues - starts then stalls. Anyone else experiencing this or similar?

My 2024 RT Limited is experiencing a problem of stalling while starting.

If starting the engine from cold, it'll fire up fine and idle away no problems. It doesn't stall when driving off. All perfect.

After driving and getting it to temperature, if I stop the engine for under 20 minutes it'll fire up fine and no issues.

The problem is when it's been running for a while and I stop for 45 minutes and then try to start it again. It starts and then immediately stalls. It's as if I just turned off the key. When I press the starter again, it fires up but sounds rough and smells of fuel for a bit and then finally clears itself. It's just that first warm start after being off for more than 45 minutes. Between 20 and 45 minutes it's hit and miss as to if it starts ok or stalls.

I've noticed when the engine is cold, every time I turn the ignition key the fuel pump primes for a few seconds. However, when it's warm, the fuel pump doesn't prime.

Dealer has no idea. He replaced the purge valve and ECM but it's still doing it. So I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar???
 
I would like to think a dealer tech would have checked this kind of thing - Injectors and signal; grounds to battery and ecm, etc; fuel pump relay circuit; and key switch connection.
 
He's done all that he reckons but the only thing that seems wrong to me is that lack of fuel pump priming when warm. I'm sure others I've heard when warm starting will prime the pump.
