The tune was perfect has nothing to do with the tune.

 

I understand that personally I'm going to have to agree with it having something to do with the ecu but sometimes if a sensor or something goes bad after the tune it willl cause major headache but most likely the auto eco is throwing something off with the tune.

But I still wanna know who tuned the car cuz I'm lookin for someone I have a good guy local but other options r good too

Mike will always be my tuner. Car runs good. Just need resistor mod. Gas mileage is WAY up. Took a whole tank to get to otown and only 3 quarters on way down.

Car is running now - i reset ecu.... but i do need the auto relay mod because i hear the buzzing after car is off still. so i have to unplug FIC for now when i park. Also need the resistor for the 5k hiccup at WOT. Hopefully the issue doesnt come back from keep unplugging and plugging fic in.

 

Ohhh ok yeah mikes too far man n not only that almost impossible to contact I mean but I may still go to mike just cuz my car runs great with mikes tunes but I got a local guy here that works with aem n he tunes great so I may give him a try same price as mike but on dyno n I've seen aot of his work very reputable as well

yea i went up for the v2 lab meet so i knocked out 2 birds with 1 stone. and mike is even really good at e-tuning via logging so.

 

Yeah id rather go up there

pretty sure my ECU just fried... i plugged in the FIC and put car in ON position and heard a LOUD POP. all the sudden theres smoke near my driver side window and near my gloved box. Now Neither FIC will idle at all, car revs up by itself and then shuts off..... fml.

 

Ok so i just put in Manual ECU. On the FIC i just purchased the RPM's still fluctuate when key is in ON position.... no idea why it does this. I am still using auto harness however. Car wont start still. It cranks but wont turn on. Tried putting the old FIC on - It turned on went to abou 1500 rpm and shut off immdediately. Tried connecting the stock ecu up and same result. I am lost and not sure what to do. Should i put that auto relay in the harness and cut the gear selector wires? I have a feeling something else is wrong with the car.

 

you've checked all your vac lines right? just checking the sudden dying could be a vacuume issue.

 

Or a loose coupler

Did you do the paper clip trick to mate the Ecu with the cars ignition

 

car runs even if the IC pipes were disconnected. <3 blow thru.

 

i thought this was only if i got a manual harness aswell? I guess well have to try that.

 

try borrowing a friends tps and cam sensor to see if the car will start and run right.

 

Negative, the Ignition key system thing is located behind the dash above the pedal assembly it runs off the dash harness not engine harness, you have you do the paper clip trick, the only difference between auto and manual engine harness is one extra clip in the engine bay

 

these could go bad randomly? the car was running for 2 weeks. went and got tuned on new FIC... had to keep unplugging FIC when i parked because i dont have the auto relay in the auto harness so the battery would drain. and one day i plugged it in and turned car in On position before cranking and POP! smoke everyhwere.... no idea what happened but now car dont work

 

can anyone find me the trick writeup?
