Will a protune eliminate this problem completely?

***stealth*** · 07-03-2008, 09:35 PM

Just ordered my ap but after reading this thread I'm contemplating returning it.

Don't return it...just get a tune made for your car. It really is a simple solution. The beauty of the AP is that it allows you to change maps easily without sending your ECU out to get reflashed. I've had several "tuner" cars and this is a HUGE pain in the A$$...so just be happy you have the option of not removing and mailing your ECU. Just get to a tuner in your area and say "Heys...I wants a tune for MY car!"

Can't I get a professional tune with an AP?

umm... the post above yours answers your question but yes you can get a professional tune with the ap. Lots of people will say its to much but for the options you get with it, its worth every penny!

You need tactrix cable which isn't available yet...

I got the damn code again yesterday. Is a pro-tune really the only answer? Do we really know that WILL fix fix it for sure? Should we expect a Cobb 1.02 map? Right now I'm stuck driving light-footed which is terribly obnoxious.

No, you can go back to stock. Maybe upgrading your wastegate will help, but you should still get a tune.

No, you shouldn't expect it. It may happen, but don't wait for it.

A pro tuned map should run awesome. Every car, area, elevation, and gas quality can make variables in the OTS maps.

They work well for some, not for others. A pro-tuned map assures it's the right/safe map for YOUR car.

Mikael, Cobb does pro tunes for 200/hr. I am not sure of anyone else local who does. I am getting close to going down there cause I dont want the code again!

08's are a bit different. They are from 0-1.0 with the default @ 0.8 on cobb S2. Not sure what stage 1 is.

After re-flashing my stage 2 car the DAM was at 0.8 and after a few spirited sprints and going through the RPM range at had adjusted to 1.0 in under 5 miles.

fungool · 07-21-2008, 05:36 PM

has anyone tried the modified restrictor pill "fix"?

OK...my turn. I was running through the gears HARD up a steep hill (about 8% grade) literally at sea level (just turned North on PCH from CA 84 right at the ocean) on a typically cool evening on the coast (about 60F but not foggy yet). Near the top of 3rd gear (maybe 6K RPM) I threw this code. I had been aware of this issue and avoided long pulls in upper gears but never considered trouble at anything resembling legal speeds on the tight curvy roads I drive most frequently. The steep uphill grade, of course, increases load just like being in a higher gear.

After I stopped crapping my pants, I took it easy on the way home (didn't have the AP with me) but I was pretty sure it would be the dreaded 244. I am running the Cobb V1.01 ACN 91 Stage 1 map with no other mods: been on this map for over 1000 of the 3900 miles on the car. Came home and checked/cleared the code but now, of course, I'm really worried about possible damage done: fingers crossed.

All of this makes me thankful that I'm going in for a protune at GST on Monday (along with Cobb DP, sways, KB shifter/bushings, steering rack bushings and alignment)... and makes me wish I'd decided to take the short way home until after Monday
