Put the coil pack on today. We'll see how it goes. Fingers crossed. Im a bit skeptical though. Having already replaced what I have, I feel like nothing I do will fix it now.

The coil pack didnt fix the problem. It still does it. You mentioned timing could be a problem. Is that possible? Why would it sometimes want to do it and sometimes not when the motors warm? Should the timing be more advanced. Should we advance the timing a little in the warm crank file of the tune?

Also I run NGK TR6 plugs gapped at .035. Are those too cold?

UPDATE:

I found/fixed the problem. I got rid of the MAFia extender and replaced it with a HPX MAF w/ VMP 75mm housing and got a new tune. It took care of the warm hard starts and a few other running issues I was having.

Thanks guys for your help and support.
