i know what it is, but not what he changed. im sorry i cant be of more help other than thats the difference in tuners and why one has tuned 40+, and others just the shop cars. if you go back to stock and dont get it anymore, its the tune and issue im referencing. if it happens still, see below, but id bet good $ on tune. exact symptoms i had day 1 tuning and then never again after ken did his magicI just sent you a message. This is a little vague so I’m curious if you can elaborate.
yours is likely a factory dct issue, ive seen/heard of a few going in for replacementMy car had the wrench again last night. Definitely not an overtemp.
Just drove 5 minutes to store. Trans was 112, oil was 175ish.
Parked it all was fine. Came back out and in startup.... the wrench. Said check manual with no other message at all.
Shut it of and started again and wrench was still there.
After 10 seconds or so, wrench went away and no issues with drivability found.
????? What the hell.
No codes or anything strange on OBD Scanner. Cheap version of one but nothing recorded that it gave me back.
This is getting annoying.
I still have the issue and next is to put it back to stock and trouble shoot from there. I’ll be out of town so might take me a few weeks to get it all back to stock. I’ll keep you posted.Following up.
Couldn't locate any obvious loose connections, not sure if all wires are pinned out correctly.
Went to dealership, even though they seem to be avoiding issues and call backs, they hooked the car up and did a full scan on the electronics.
With the exception of one sync fault that the mechanic said was no issue, possibly low battery during shipping, there were no faults at all found.
The mechanic and the service writer both seemed to be very responsive and willing to help with the car. Much appreciated.
His suggestion was to keep driving and see if the wrench pops up again.
Car runs and drives fine, definitely kills dinos, 12-14 mph is where its at and that is not racing the car at all. I have gotten on it, but far from anything close to racing.
I wonder if this car will drink a full tank in two 20 minute sessions, maybe three sessions MAX.
I was at Charlotte motor Speedway a couple of weeks ago. You’ll use almost a tank of fuel per session. I got 4.7mpg on track at the end of the session computer would tell me I had 36 miles till empty. However I never put more than 11 gallons in the car.Following up.
