NEW TO OFT

Hey every one. Im extremely excited my new OFT is waiting for me at home. Expect me to post alot of questions, sorry guys. im going to attempt to flash stage one in the meantime, while my OFH are getting ceramic coated. I run 93 octane.

I want to know what to look for to make sure my fuel is actually 93 and running smooth on the car.

Also anything else i should look for? I am stock except for a TRD drop in filter.

If it said 93 on the pump, then roll with it.

If your only other engine mod is a filter, you'll be fine at Stage 1. The first time I flashed mine I had the youtube video from openflashtablet.com playing so I didn't mess it up. I'd recommend that.

OFT really is a great "set it and forget it" tool. Flash Stage 1 and don't worry about it until you get your header, then flash Stage 2. It's as easy said as done.

No you don't. Basic stage 1 and 2 maps are preloaded. You only need OpenFlash Manager if you're updating your OFT, downloading specific maps like some of the more esoteric E85 maps, or doing custom changes to the maps.

These are directly off OFT's site. The direct link is below:

http://www.openflashtablet.com/Autom...S%20v2.063.zip

You'll use the appropriate BIN for your calid under the `Stage 1 - 93oct` folder.

P0462 is a fuel level sensor code. People have seen it sometimes when switching to E85, but no one's reported it with regular fuel.

Clear the code with your OFT and see if it comes back. If it does, flash the 91 map and see what happens.
