maybe what shawn church meant was, you paid for the service, he couldnt' tune till you got yoru "other issues" worked out, so when you do, come back and he will tune you since you already paid for it?

im now having serious issues with the car for some reason, it feels like maybe the spark plugs are fouled out or something is going on, i bought a wideband today so im gonna install it tommorow to see what the hell is going on with the friggin car cause it's driving like ____ now ..

since it driving this way i should probably check my compression as well ..

for some reaosn the car is sputtering when i stay at a steady speed ... or rpm ..

if i am boosting the car seems to be fine, but if im not boosting the car seems to sputter and hiccup..

what can cause that guys ?

Oh I know. You have to have faith in your tuner in order to do what I did for a year without a wideband....

I'd bet that if you called shawn and let him know ur all set now. he tune without charging u since u paid already. i went for a follow up and paid nothing. Hes a stand up guy for sure! and he has never failed to answer a question. he knows his stuff.

ok here are some things i am going to ask
A. did you componsate for the larger injectors on the fic, it might think you are using stock injectors so it dumps more fuel then needed.
B. are you using multipul maps to tune hence like maf and injecters and o2 at the same time. if you change it in one then you shouldnt really have to do that much in the other, because if you change something in one it will add whatever you do in another.
C. did you look at aems fourm they have a really nice setup to clam the maf voltage so that you can tune under o2 sensor trust me it is really helpful.

i had a sputering problem at my top end. i data logged it and found out for some reason my injectors were at 110%. i made sure to delete everything to zero it out. i took it off when i sould my last tc and still have yet to put it on my new one, but i think they fixed the problem with the new firmware update.

if you have any questions for me ask away.
