Help with tune in Orlando, fl area?
I have a 98 coupe with 114kmi that I have just installed a CAI into. This is my daily driver so unfortunately I can't send out my pcm for a tune. The engine runs a little hot in traffic and I've read that a tune can adjust the fan(s) on time to remedy this. Also due to the cai I'm running a little rich as my mpg has decreased since the install. I'm just looking for an inexpensive basic tune to waken this car up and keep it running cooler. Anyone in the Orlando, fl area (I'm in Davenport) that can help me would be much appreciated.

as far as a simple tune you have some options like Next Level Performance over that way....a CAI really doesn't require a tune...fan adjustments can be done by anyone with HP tuners....another thing to consider is your fans may not be operating as well as the y used too....also there are supposed to be pieces of foam around the radiator and shroud that may be missing
IOW lots of reasons and solutions to running hot
Good luck

well to start with at 114,000 miles you may want to look at some other things like cleaning out your radiator....look for any debris like plastic bags etc...use an airhose and blow the radiator fins out...not real high pressure don't do any damage....a dryer vent brush gently run down there between the condenser and radiator will help too... rinse them with a hose
