    Pinging on SCT tunes

    I didnt clean the clamps, I will tonight. Going to try to start it once more before bedtime, it will have been sitting about 3 hours at that point. There is no sign of any corrosion. Im getting 12.8v-13.01v with car off at the battery and 13.5v-13.7v at idle, system seems to be working correctly.

    Pinging on SCT tunes

    I am putting it in "2" (its an auto). Still shouldnt ping. No matter what the rpm/load/gear I dont think ..if the custom tune is correct. I am having more trouble now...and this is on the stock tune to be clear. I got the new battery and put it in no problems car was acting totally...

    Pinging on SCT tunes

    I have been unpluging the fuel pump fuse, and the fan connection each time I tune. My wife and I counted the amount of times the car was stopped and started yesterday before I put the tune on it and it was like 12 times from her going to work, lunch, gas station, home, store, I picked up kid...

    Yup, bad battery :rolleyes: .. I cant believe it. Happy its not the ecu. Still iffy on using tuner, I may just sell it.. sucks, but I feel jinxed or something lol. Maybe will just hang onto it till I can get a dyno tune. You guys think this was just bad luck having battery go out on first...

    Pinging on SCT tunes

    Totally wierd.. Car started up out of nowhere, there was no time on my clock showing I noticed and when I went back to check if it was still like that I cranked it over and it started. Turned over slowly. Reading on voltmeter at battery at that time was in the 10s.. Saw 13.8s on it before I...

    Pinging on SCT tunes

    Will have battery tested in the morning. I hope its that! edit: Battery is acting funny I think, goes from 13v to 10v after a crank or two(which is not really a crank but a starter click), and/or when charging.. which is odd.. so will have that tested in morning. My other vehicle is a big...

    Pinging on SCT tunes

    Hard to believe its not the tune.. Car was driven all week with no issue in stock form, I got the custom tune in my email today and when wife got home with car I put in the custom tune and now it wont start. Car ran fine and started 8 times today. How many volts should this car have...

    Pinging on SCT tunes

    I was able to put it "back to stock", it turned on the tuner and let me do that. Still wont start, just a "click" now when the key is turned. This really sucks :mad:

    Pinging on SCT tunes

    Well great, now the car does not even start on the custom tune, and I put it back to stock and it still wont start, and now it wont even turn on the tuner if I plug that in. Reading 12.45v at the battery, car was driven all day by wife and made several stops. It cranks over once real slow and...

    Pinging on SCT tunes

    I considered it.. but I dont have the code after driving around for a week on the stock tune. And prior to the tuner I have never had a dtc. At this point its my guess it was from the SCT tunes/doing the tuning, not certain of this, but it makes sense. Also, having the fuel pump fuse out while...

    Remote Oil Filter Relocation Kits

    I use a piece of cardboard under the filter, about 8"-10" wide and about 20" long. I stuff it up under the filter and then just remove the filter, I dont even bother to puncture and drain the filter, the oil hits the cardboard and runs towards the front of the car into the oil drain pan. Very...

    Pinging on SCT tunes

    Contacted SCT and they tried to say it was a problem with the car. Here is their reply: Sounds like you might be running into a fuel restriction do to a mechanical issue. Check common fuel-related wear items, such as fuel filter, injectors, fuel pump, etc. An aftermarket tune leaves...

    Pinging on SCT tunes

    Gave that a shot yesterday, test drove it during the day that time and I think the pinging was worse even. There is no adjustment for fuel like that, only WOT A/F ratio, pulling out 2* timing under 2k had no effect it seemed. Will be calling/emailing etc today to try to get some help...

    Pinging on SCT tunes

    Got my SCT SF3 today, installed the 87 tune with some changes to the shift points and shift firmness.. result was not so great, the trans was acting really funny, it would like hunt for a gear but always go back to the same one(this was in second I think)under normal driving conditions, the car...

    Tuner questions

    Will be getting other mods for sure, after the nitrous I would like to get the trans done(transgo kit or j mod or something, and more stall), then do susp/chassis and then maybe step up to 100shot, and that will be plenty for me to have fun with. Yes my plan was to order from AM, I was...

    Tuner questions

    I have been doing some reading and I am about to order a SCT SF3, will be the first mod(cai in box still) on a 63k 03 GT auto. I just wanted to double check on the order of the "build" I want to go in and if/how the tuner will be used, not sure I understand it all yet. Here is what I would like...

    Poly steering rack bushings=alignment?

    Have some of these I want to put on, they are not the offset ones. Will I need an alignment from just putting in the new steering rack bushings? Figured if I do I would wait for next month when I get new front tires and do it all then.

    Headlight cleaning

    Yes this is not a kit to be clear.. just sandpaper and the Meguiars PlastX that comes in and is also available separate from their kit. Im sure better results would be seen from using the kits that are available. I am going to get a buffing pad for my drill when I get it back from loan and do...
