My codes are gone. My AP usually reads 0 misfires now when I start it. It looks like the codes were being falsely read by the canned tune's oversensitive misfire settings. Thanks to Ryan of PD Tuning for figuring this out. I'm looking forward to continuing to refine and tune the car.
Please note to anyone that comes across this: If you get these codes after tuning the car, don't listen to Cobb if they tell you that you need to clean your valves. I have yet to talk someone that actually had any codes thrown by dirty valves on these cars. If you're questioning it, have someone run a relative compression test on the engine.
Second note: If you find someone that will do a proper valve cleaning service affordably please let me know.
I'm still a little concerned about how my idle will sometimes drop to 500 RPM with the AC on full blast. But I'm going to attribute this to the leaky evap core. I've been refilling it with refrigerant for some time now to avoid replacing it ($1,000 cost)...
I'm still debating if I want to keep my MAPerformance CAI or go back to stock. This is from witnessing the IAT temps climb quickly during idle or stop and go. My charge temps usually fluctuate around 100 -110 F, with ambient air being about 90F, the IAT will average about 15F above ambient. Sometimes charge temps will occasionally read lower than ambient if the CAI has been heat soaking. This is in Clearwater, FL where it's hell right now
