You have to do things in this order...
1. Stop the car
2.go to neutral with clutch out
3. Clutch in and go to first
4. Mash the gas HARD. You've got to be WOT
5. Revs should bounce off of 4k(or whatever you have set)
6. While revs are bouncing push the CC stalk up or down to adjust your RPM setting.

I had a problem because I have a habit of shifting to first and leaving clutch in before I'm fully stopped, but I guess for LC to work it has to see 0mph and then neutral and then first. I was going to first before stopping fully.

How is the ECU controlled electronic boost control working? (Not the Crawford car itself, I understand you can't talk about that, just the feature)

Also, can you give us a run down on how to use launch control? Every time I try to use it I just bounce the engine off the rev limiter.
Boost control works just fine when setup correctly.

I'm also working on a meth kit fails afe that's wired into the Ecu.

Right now I'm sorting out the wiring, but the plan is full plug and play no cutting of anything

Wow, that sounds ominous. Did something have a catastrophic failure?

How many inputs do you think can be added, so far you've spoken of a flex fuel sensor, boost solenoid and now a meth kit? Is there any chance of running all of these simultaneously? It would be a metric fuck ton of tuning but all three of these working in concert could make for a very flexible and safe setup.

I'm not sure if I can do all 3 at the same time RIGHT now, but I can Master Phil @ EcuTek to do somethingn for me.

How I see it is if your running meth then you most likely have no e85.. which means you dont need the flex fuel stuff

@Visconti did you copy my dongle id from the most recent forms or an older one. I just remembered my first tune was using a loaner from another member here but that was a long time ago.

Most recent..

The loaner cables tuners were labeled differently on my folder system so I know what dongle ID that is.

Here is my screen shot. Is it possible my vin is wrong or is the error message only for the dongle id?

Mine started right up after sitting 3 hours last night. Upper 30s out. Sat overnight now and will do a cold and warm start log in the next hour.

Oh yeah. In case anyone cares about the driveability issues I mentioned a couple pages back. It seems like the ECU just didn't have all the info for those areas as it's smoothed now. I did notice it a little bit yesterday but it was gone once the car warmed up. I'm guessing it's an open loop/cold start issue but even then it seems to be sorting itself out.

Just to get this straight, I should be getting my cable in Monday - Tuesday... If I got an older Tune file from john, can we flash that or do I need a new one?
