Anyone here help me out with a tune? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey guys anyone here from 323 to 626 area cool to help me out with a guy out with a tune? I'm suffering from the famous idle dip and dealers won't help me out because my car is salvaged. I got ripped off with a bad pink slip buying the car as a clean title... a whole nother story. Anyways I can't get a flash from the dealers because of it. Wondering if anyone with an OFT open flash tablet or something could help me? I'm seriously on my last legs with this car before I give up and sell it. Anywho, if anyone is down to help a guy out, I'd gladly appreciate it.

You're going to have to purchase the open flash tablet, since the tablet can only be married to one car at a time.

Oft only works on one car at a time. If you flash it, the oft is "married" to the ecu.

For 10k how can you not expect it to be salvaged?

Just buy a used oft. If you don't like it, sell it, you won't lose any money, maybe a few bucks on shipping at most.

Couldn't the owner unmarry it, marry it, flash it, then unmarry it and give it back?

When you unmarry it, it flashes your stock tune/map on the car. The tune will not stay on the car.

I know man I guess this was a lesson learned. The title stated clean and so did the carfax when I bought it. But that's besides the point. I guess I'll start hunting the boards for an OFT.
