I tried 30+ tunes from them and no joy. Also remember, their tune is a proportional tune for my model and the DIC calculations on MPG, miles in tank, etc is wrong.

so dieseling has to be all the raw fuel left in the intake runners.......your idleing for afew second or crusing slowly before shutdown must reduce combustion camber temps low enough not to preignite remaining fuel.....if you tune idle with more fuel it will cool and lower combustion camber temps even more and quicker.... maybe you can run whatever tune you want as long as you allow the idleing before shutdown......ever try running a cooler thermostat and program fans to kick in at a lower temp?

You can adjust for the DIC calcs in the tune with HPT.

While that may be true, NO tune has ever stopped the dieseling so adjusting the DIC calcs WOULD be an option if I got one of the proportional tunes to stop the dieseling.

One thing has nothing to do with the other. You can still have your DIC reading properly at least.

My DIC reads perfectly correct right now. I opted to NOT use the E-Force tune.
