Quick Question:
Recently picked up an nGauge, has anyone ever had any issues with the nGauge being connected to the OBD port long term?

*IE* Electrical issues/Battery Discharge....

Have my nGauge in place for over a year now. Car stays parked in the garage more than it gets driven and no problems at all.

After the tune has been loaded, can the nGauge be removed and stored?

Thanks for all the inputs, I know sometimes devices with “awake/sleep” functions still draw some juice from whatever they plug into in different applications. I’m not intelligent enough on the OBD port schematic to the battery, additionally still thinking through the process of where to mount it. Not a fan of mounting on the left dash area/suction cup (I’m a Yeti, somehow I will break/snag it). The other aspect is my pure hatred of body trim clips if I decide to do an AC vent mount....probably should order a few yellow/blue trim clips now.

Thanks good to know, do like the cammed tune. Understanding it's about timing, need to decide if there is a benefit performance wise.
Could there be a trade off sounding radical but, down on some power ?

Generally I do like what the Nguage is capable of over all. Logging and capturing data and the ability. To acquire a tune tweaked for the engine under the hood.

Slick. :thumbsup:

Isn't E85 a fuel blend, and must be hunted down? My fun cars get BP high test, if Sunoco offered the 260 as it did in the 60s I'd have that. :)
