I just got my tuner from am/bama tunes and its great but now after 2 days it has issues starting it just sounds like it wont turn over eventually after pumping the pedal it roars to life but does anyone know what may be the issue? Thx oh and im running the 87 daily driver tune

Sounds like a starter issue potentially more then a tune issue. Once your tune is installed, if there was any issue with it, it would be apparent from time you first ran it, not few days later.

I agree.
The way you describe it sounds exactly like a starter issue.
I'd take it in to have it looked at.

Put your old tune back in and see if you still have trouble starting it.

Are you giving it gas while you are starting it? You shouldn't be.

Is the battery ok?

Im thinking it may be the battery is there any way a tune could drain a battery? Cause I had to get a jump after returning it to stock and when I got home and turned it off (still on stock) and restarted with no problems but if when I did that yesterday morning with the tune in it had trouble

Our cars are famous for the alternators failing too.

EFI vehicles should not have the gas pedal pumped during starting.


Tunes will not in any way drain the battery. A tuner does not effect in any way the battery or alternator.

The alternators on these cars are very finicky, but I would recommend checking your battery first and then the alternator after that.

If you are still having troubles, give the Tuning Specialists at Bama a call!
