when my car is first started after approx. 5 minutes it acts as though it is going to stall and when it heats up runs quite smoothly

Check air filter, check spark plug wires, check TPS. Look for vacuum line leak. Look for bad connector to MAP sensor. If carb check choke plate. Hope this helps.

Make sure all your electrical connections are secure. Engine vibration can cause this.

Probably normal since you reset the ECU. Anytime you do that, you should do a normal startup but let it sit for 10 minutes or so to let the computer calibrate based on the sensor input. Low idle could be normal due to that auto calibration period.

My car would start and run and when the enging got warm, the engine would shut off automatically. If you are trying to remotely cool your car, you dont want the enging shutting off.

Mine started first try, and I have never had a problem starting it. Always starts first try following directions. You may have a bad one.

Yes. It will start mid song where it left off. It does take a minute or so for the unit to "boot" once the car is turned on.

when it first starts the cooling fan is on high then within a few seconds the fan reduces speed and you can barely hear it run unless i'm listening for it i don't hear it running

If the problem is that it stalls when shifted into reverse with the blades turning, the starter key must be in the position directly next to "off", rather than the position it returns to after starting. This is supposed to be a safety feature. If you are simply unable to shift into reverse, I would call the manufacturer.

Mr. Sharp (below) is not wrong but I have ran one on low with the engine running but not for a very long time.

First, go back and clean the carburetor again (you may have a partial blockage in one of the jets). After that, you may need to adjust the air/fuel screw. After letting the engine warm up for about 5 min (so the choke has disengaged), try tuning the screw a little bit at a time to get the best overall performance.

I have not had any problems yet. But I think the unit is not starting as fast as it did at first. But it is still heating as it should.

I found with mine that it takes a long time when you first start it because there is no gas in the line. Hold it and spark it for 2 min.

Try cleaning the air hole on the gas cap first. I replaced the fuel pump, but still had stalling until I cleaned out the air hole in the gas cap.

Well I had no problem mine is working very well, I suggest you to check your car for any fuse or electric problem or try it in another car's lighter to be sure what's the problem you have

Occasionally (with a hot engine) the fuel can vaporize before it gets to the carb, but waiting 10 min solves the problem. Otherwise check the spark plug.

that is not normal. You do have to wait for the motor to finish unlocking before opening but other than that I have never had it do what you describe. It has been running flawlessly for a year now. It is used two to three times a day.

Hi, Mine first did that when it was first installed. The temp was set to high. I unplugged the unit and not turn it back on until the next morning and it has been great since then.
