Os cable connection between oft and car good

Did you make any alterations to tune with romraider ?
if so did you use v2defs with V2 tunes and not the old v1 defs?

No change in rom raider, used the 2.067 (I believe, won't be back to that computer for a few days now)

Once I removed the negative connection from the battery for a few seconds I was able to re flash and haven't had any problems, really weird the way it acted though

Only time i have had anything weird like that was when i put my running laptop on top of my key fob on the front seat, blocked signal from key fob and car would not start, took me a couple of minutes to work out what happened

It's not that. It's a warranty claim, technically a TSB not a recall, and we're not allowed to "solicit" warranty claims or TSB's. It has to be a customer complaint for us to perform the update.

In need off some help
Went too my local tuner and tuned the car whit the ace 4-2-1 header full exhaust and 200cel cat.
And the car feels great and all, but keep getting the p0420 code, didn't get that code whit the oft E85 stage 2 map, so my question is how do I manually fix so the ecu dis regards the p0420 code as the original oft e85 stage 2 flash did?
And problem number 2 could starts, takes me at least 10times too start the car from could. Ones the car is heated it starts whit out problems, but it's nerv wreaking every time, when starting the car at race days, you don't know if it gone start and you gone make it too start in time for the race
Have the ethanol content something too do whit the bad cold starts?
Have pretty high e85 Content in Sweden, more like e94-e95 but the car I tuned for it.

Probably while telling my tuner what too do whit the mapping, but described it so even Opie in family guy would understand.

Yes you or tuner will need to disable cel code P0420 in the tuned rom. If the tune is unlocked then you can do it with romraider. You will need acopy of the tune from the tuner unless you have tactrix, as the oft will not read a second tune.

The tuner shoul also have increased th Cranking IPW tables for ethanol below about 20C you will need 30 to 50% increase at least.

I think he meant on the display on the tablet itself, in which case it can't be done.

So I have a Sufrace Pro running 8.1 I installed OFM & the windows 8 patch, but I'm having issues when connecting to the tablet. When trying to upload to the device, once it finishes pulling the codes OFM just kind of reboots. OFM stops what it was doing and goes back to the start point with the opened panel greyed out. It does the same thing when downloading. I have yet to successfully upload to the tablet. Only about 1/5 download attempts work. I was able to get the original file saved on my PC. I tried a USB 2.0 hub since I read the tablet doesn't play well with USB 3.0 and it didn't make a difference. Any ideas?

Not sure if this is the best spot to ask but how many tanks of e85 do you think it is safe to put through the car before switching to an e85 compatible oil? I'm on my second tank after just using oft to try it out and now i dont want to go back to pump gas, i love the corn too much. Should i be looking to oil change soon? I still have 3 free full synth changes at the dealership and i will be going back to a 93 tune for the winter
