Yeah no none of that is normal. You can clear the engine light and codes with your handheld scanner. Then drive it but I would be looking for a new tuner going forward.

At this point you need to call your tuner, send them logs and demand they make this run properly. Or switch tuners. I cant answer that if what you got going on at the moment is going to blow your engine. But I can tell you it doesnt appear its running correctly. Please call your tuner and send them a log so they can correct this. Or fire them and get another tuner.

Didn't know BAMA had a flex tune option these days. They only advertised 93 and E85 Race. When I found their bad reviews here on M6G they were nearly all for flex tunes on Gen 2 motors. Made me think they abandoned flex tunes.

what tuners supports the bama tuner

Shaun at AED uses the SCT X4. Rob Shoemaker, I think, as well. Some of the other outfits, such as Juggernaut and Ortiz may as well.

I agree with get rid of your tuner.

I would have to see actual logs to answer this. Looking at your video it appears it is running a bit lean 1.05 lambsa. It should vary from .98 to 1.02 or so.

Are you sure you are flashing the flex tune? If you can, pull up LTFT and STFT and put up another video showing those.

They are long and short term fuel trims. That will tell me more of what is going on with your car.

which banks

B1 and B2 You should be able to select these from your Bama tuning device. Replace spark advance and AFR with the LT's and ST's keep lambsa.
