Drivetrain Pulley and Cold Start
Since changing to the 15% reduction pulley I've been having cold start issues. I've got to give it some gas or it totally dies durring startup.
I had been having the same type of issue when I first bought the car. Got it updated to the newer ECU version and all was good. Am I crazy, could it have reverted somehow?
Should I go in and ask for the newest software version (someone posted they just got a newer version than the 3.2 or whatever everyone else has)?
Any thoughts?

That's really weird Ryan... I did the pulley right during the dead of winter, and I didn't have any cold start issues (3.1). Once I did the Graham Goode Racing/Superchips software, I did have a small problem - but it was more of an erratic idle during the first five seconds or so of the start up. After I reflashed the original 3.1 ECU programming, the issue went away. Go get the 3.3 upgrade flashed and see if it does anything. I know you couldn't have "reverted", but obviously something quirky is happening. Of all the pulleys I've done or heard about, I haven't seen a cold start issue.
Hope that helps!
