Just looked at an idle log Matt sent me... long term fuel trims at warm idle are pulling up to -20% fuel, but honestly I don't see anything that would cause a misfire issue on the log..

I would swap plugs at this point and see if the problem perisists

robert miller

Thanks buddy will let you know why up 20% at warm up and not when cold. Is it just in that tune you think are should it be like that. Robert

T/A KID

Which tube you using with A&A kit!? 3.5 or 4"
Cold vs warm running is different Bc of a different Hz range in the MAF sensor... I tend to have my long terms within 5%, not 20%

A/A TI head unit with the 3.6 pulley. Ported Katech T.B. LT 1 7/8 inch headers, 3 inch mid pipe, with Borla NPP ATKA cat back, Only cleaned up ported the stock intake.

I don't think A&A comes with the 4" pipe anymore due to the maf issues some people were having; Myself included. Fuel trims were impossible to clean up with the 4" so I had to buy the 3 1/2" and do a SD tune.

Ben I got him to put a new set of plugs in the car. He called me Friday late afternoon said the car was running great now. He also told me he was getting up with you on help with the tune.

Maybe after a month now I will get my car back by this coming weekend. Ben thanks for all you help on this.. Robert

Robert a few of us suggested just putting new spark plugs in. You have solid guys here with great advice. Make sure your tune is correct !! Double / triple down that your tune is correct before you give your car a full throttle pass !!

robert miller

I know it buddy I do think that Ben T/A KID really knows his stuff on the c7 tune in here. I will make sure that he has looked at the cars tune fully before he puts it on the rollers.

Plus I emailed the tune that A/A sent me & by the looks of that tune it was a very safe tune for a c7.

I told him 1st thing about the meth problem & to put the new plugs in the car. I was told what was in it looked good then after 3 more plus weeks of him checking what he wanted too out on the car. I just come out & said again chg the plugs out I was coming to get the car.

I know Ben will do a good job looking at & redoing the tune so I will be happy with it.

Robert, did you have new plugs installed when the A&A SC was installed? Andy from A&A did my A&A SC install with new plugs and ALCYcontrol meth and tune and its been wonderful.

robert miller

Yes I put the new plugs in from A/A but then after I got the blower set up on the car. I got a friend to hook up the new meth kit he just overlooked the ground wire & that made the meth kit come on & shot all the meth into the intercooler & shot the new plugs.

By what Matt told me at the shop the car is running really good but he going to get T/A KID in here to help do the tuning on the car before putting it on the rollers. Again a number is just that but I will post what it does on the rollers this coming week. Cant wait to get it to the track.

That's awesome news. I'm glad it all worked out!

It has been unacceptable for how long your tuner has had your car. I wouldn't be very happy about this.

When I was looking to got my car tuned, I went with the place who was confident they could get it tuned while I waited, while the other place wanted to keep my car for a day or two to "experiment."

Glad you're getting your car in order, finally, but I would demand some recompense from the tuner, if I were you. I mean, how insane is it that you had to do the legwork to hook him up with somebody who knows what they're doing, T/A KID.

robert miller

Just going to be glad to get her back. I just hope he don't try to hit me up for the stuff he said he had looked & was checking out. When I told him from the start to chg out the plugs due to the meth problem.

I will see by this weekend. Robert

joemosfet

Yeah, true, when you first get to put your foot down and feel that extra power, the unfortunate things kinda melt away.

And, of course, this should offer your tuner some decent experience, and the next C7 he tunes will hopefully go a lot smoother.
