2) I notice several places at partial throttle that there was a knock correction value of 5. Normal?

I'm still learning here, but my thought is if its running 13.5 is running a little lean still and causing a bit of knock.

Thanks for any help.
Did you give the ECU enough miles to finish its learning of the new flash?

No. Does it change that much? I know I usually notice an increase in power after 100 miles or so but wasn't sure if the things I listed were attributed to that.

That is positive knock correction and is good. Mine does the same thing every time I go wot. Its a decrease or negative value in knock correction that you have to worry about.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.... @Visconti I'm looking at you because this is something I wondered about too

Did you update ProECU before flashing? If not try doing that first and then try flashing the car. If you are still having issues submit a ticket.

Just did about 100 miles on the e70 tune so far and it feels great. I dont think ill be changing back to pump unless theres a dealer visit. Car starts up right away, Linear power in every gear, and something that i noticed is that the fuel gauge isnt dropping as much as when i was on e85 tune.(not sure yet). And i read someone was getting error, you have to update proecu first or you will encounter some issues.

I wish my 18.2mpg could say the same. Haha. Tonight the car pulled harder than ever on the e70. About 40F outside seems to be the perfect temperature with my michelin super sport tires to grab every gear.

Everything worked on the other car, we currently have 2 cars on one cable and the other rom worked without a hitch. It seems my rom file is messed up.

I've put a lot of time in these calibrations so its nice to hear people are enjoying them.

Anyone having a problem needs to make a ticket, posting here in about it doesn't speed up the process.

Maybe one of you guys can help me out with this issue as I think johns busy today

John had to get me a new tuning license so I applied ecutek update to get the license, I applied the license update, and now when I go to the "license & feature information" menu, it still says I have a flash count of 0.


Yes I applied the correct license update. Is there an in between step I'm missing here?
