Um....does it "seem" like 4-5 secs or are you actually counting 1 1000 2 1000 3 1000? I'm sure the oil is just a coincidence.

I would suggest dead (or dying) batteries... Put them on a load test.

i dont think its the tuner bud. your batteries can go at any time, they will be fine one start, then take a crap the next. have them load tested. if not the batteries, it may be the way it is tuned, talk to your tuner and find out if it something within the program.

Since it does it both tuned AND stock, I would say it's likely the batteries...
