Lately my 06 base gr prix, wont start from the command start, and when i go out it starts ok but its like its not getting enough fuel, or something...

btw if you try to start with command start it will only try twice and then it disables it...? any way to fix that... gonna be useless once its actually cold out

Try some fuel injector cleaner in the tank, and clean the MAF sensor with MAF sensor cleaner. You can also clean the throttle body with the MAF cleaner. If that doesn't help you might have a clogged fuel filter.

first question im not to sure of so I wont comment but as for your command start, if its the factory auto start its programmed for 2 uses only after you will have to manually start the car.

yeah, that really sucks here.. and you cant change anything..

middle of winter it gets to -40 degrees (C & F )
and the command start either wont start it, or it will only run it for 10min which doesnt even start to warm up the car when its that cold

On my G8 if I push the remote start button again after it starts, it will run for 20 minutes. I don't know if that will work on your car but it's worth a try.

yeah i have an 06 as well and had the exact same problem on a cold start it starts fine but after it warms up it stumbles and wont stay started. since it is throttle by wire it is best to keep the throttle body clean. clean it out a couple times a month as well as the maf it cured my problem. it also performed a lot better to. and try to use the quick dry formula maf cleaner it works better. and when cleaning out the throttle body use a microfiber rag no shop tale or face tale.
