Any update to this ?

I played with it a little yesterday, but had my wife with me, so I couldn’t do too much. I upped the voltage to 13% and the hanging idle would still occur on occasion. I do still have lots of voltage settings I can try though. It’ll be a process. Weather is back to rain again for the next couple of days, so no taking the car out in the wet (on purpose that is) LOL.

I just took my PMAS tune only intake off this past weekend. It's been on for around 8 months or so with a PBD e85 tune. We had bad idle issues initially in the beginning but they were able to get them smoothed out but small idle issues always remained. I decided to go back to stock intake and tune and man did I forget how smooth this car idles stock....

Really ? Mines dead smooth. I heard PBD tunes has horrible drivability.. dunno how true that is. LUND, VMP, AED, LIVERNOIS, all seem to have figured it out.

I have my eyes out for a stock intake too as I no longer have mine. Alternatively, may try a different intake and tune to see if that helps my warm start stalling issue.

Mine is a no tune required version btw?

Is there a certain part number that indicates a no tune compared to a tune model. When I bought my car the PMAS was already on it. Side note my mpg is trash

I don’t remember the part number for the no tune required, but it did come with a new MAF sensor. If yours has the factory MAF sensor, you probably have the tune required version.

10-4 thanks

Remove the MAF sensor and look to see if it has PMAS laser etched.

Yup, mine looked just like that.

Ok I’ll check when I get home. Does your PMAS use a lot of gas? I think mine is getting a ton of heat soak. I Wish this was a closed box system.

I ran primarily on E85 and would get between 219-240 miles per tank.

Nice the E85 in my area is trash. So both of mine are still on 93shell

I gotcha. Have you gone to a few and tested the ethanol content?

Naw. Don’t have time for testing. Local tuner told me if it’s not coming out of the barrel it’s not worth running.
