im having a few problems with which i think is the ignition or ignition switches. When putting stereo in i noticed that there was no 12+Volts when the ignition was in acc. position (didnt think it was too much of a problem at the time) the car has always been difficult to start when cold, i originally thought the cold start map on the haltech needed adjusting...but ive since noticed that the fuel pump doesnt prime, probably due to ignition, which would explain why its such a pain to start. this must have been a problem when the haltech was fitted, i think they have used a constant 12v from the battery instead of from the ignition, as the car drains batteries when it sits for more than a few days. I asked the previous owner and he's the one that said it could be the ignition. anyone else had similar problems??
