After installing my 4 port my car is cranking very slow sometimes it will speed up a little but still not fast enough to start. I am also getting cel code P06E9. Anyone know what to look for im going to look over everything in that area after work.

Do you have a spare key? If so try that or hold the key next to the push start button and try starting it. You may have a low battery key. Also what voltage is the battery @? These cars need a specific voltage to start using a Canbus system too. One last thing.....does it turn over or not and when you did the install did you unplug the battery before install?

I will try the spare key when i get home, i will check The voltage when i get home. But it was good last night and i had a jump box on it. It turns over very slow like the battery is failing but i have tried 2 batteries and had a jump box hooked up and jumper cables. Here is a link to the video of it trying to start View: https://i.imgur.com/fuhXhYH.mp4

Make sure the vehicle ground is good/ tight. You must have used that as a ground for the 4-port...right? I know I did on mine

Did you use the correct fuse location for the 4 port also?

I bet it has something to do with the alternator. I remember I had to disconnect the electrical connection for the alternator when I did mine. I would start there and verify you reconnected correctly.

This is the first place im going to look when i get home, thought i am 99% sure that i did not unhook any connectors from it.

FIXED car would not start because of vacuum leak tightened the intake manifold and it started. Thank you everyone for the help.
