Also note that's the non-offset axle back.

Anybody having any luck fixing the fuel gauge problem? Tried battery cable disconnect with no luck. Is it a EcuTek issue and should I email them? Anybody know?

John is most likely working with ecutek.

Sent from my flux capacitor using Taptalk

What mode would you normally put the car in to defeat this? Just hold down the trac for 3 seconds or something else?

Hmmm, I have never heard of the TCS causing lower dyno numbers, unless you were spinning on the dyno, do we have proof of this? Also, was this on E85? I put down 180whp on the 93 tune with completely stock exhaust on a dynojet.

I was thinking that, or pulling the ABS fuse which should disable the TCS computer as well.

What's your recommendation, @Visconti ? Also, where's the easiest place to pick up RPM signal?

You long press the Trac off button for some amount of seconds and two lights will come on in the dash showing all Aids are off.

ABQautoxer · 10-29-2012, 01:54 PM

Even doing this you'll still light up the ABS and traction lights once the dyno starts, at least mine did.

Got my cable in john! I have the file I am not suppose to flash so I will be sending you a form soon. In the options though its only E85 and 100 octane do I just choose the 100 octane one?

If I installed deltadash so I need to reinstall without it checked?

I also cannot find my license update file, looked everywhere I think it might be.

Looked through the screenshots when it goes to License download i am getting (Remote folder not found)

Edit: Here's the quote from Don@Accelerated on this, different thread than the one above that is closed now so can't quote it "I had similar issues on my Dynojet pickup as well. I changed to using the pickup w/ the ground and just clamping the harness bundle behind rear cylinder on passenger side. Never had any issues from there forward."

I'm really confused, then... I should just keep the 'broken' 826 on my car? How (and when) should I fix this?

Emailed you a couple times, John. Would you prefer that I call you?

If the tune is already on the ECU, you are fine. You can flash the stock ROM or the 10895 tune without issues. The problem is if you try to flash any of the older tune files, you run the risk of locking up your ECU.

Thank you for the clarification; flashing to stock (appointment for dealer service in a couple days)

Just don't flash back to a tuned file until you get the latest file.
