This. I encountered a VVT bug in 2015, my tuner got in touch with EcuTek to resolve it. Cams stopped working at 4900rpm for me, that's about all I remember about it.

Let me guess.. it happened @4900rpm while on high gears, 5th or 6h?
that particular bug is not racerom related

What happened in your car was that the tuner probably targeted 40 of intake advance but some cars can t reach it and stop at 38 or 39..and when you are on high load this can trigger the disabling of vvt for a couple of seconds

I encountered this 3 times with different calid, solution is to target 38 or 39 as maximum

It's been so long. I remember my tuner reaching out to EcuTek, but perhaps in this situation it wasn't a Racerom bug. Pulled up an old log of this issue for fun:

Actually I had a similar issue yesterday. Reflashed and took abt 4-5 minutes for the VVT to enable. I have done many tunes and this is the first time this happens.



I am NA.


I am going to contact ECUTEK on this

it's not like ecutek has access to vvt activation to modify it, so it won't be much of use asking to them, they perfectly know vvt can take a while to activate and they write it the Help files in Proecu
