I just finished dialing in the tune with lund. Car runs perfectly smooth. No issues at all. The one thing that changed (went crazy trying to figure this out)
Normally, the order of operations were...

1-Sit in car
2-Clutch down
3-Push to start
4-Car starts

For some odd reason it changed to this....

1-Sit in car
2-Turn of ACC ( can't start motor at this point)
3-While acc is on, hold brake down
4-Turn car off (keep brake held down)
5- Clutch down
6-push to start
7-car starts

Anyone?lol

I also noticed something with the clutch actuator solenoid that's at the end of the clutch pedal. I know i'm going to have a hard time explaining this so bare with me.
If i were to go to my car right now and press the solenoid with my finger all the way in, you'll hear the clicks of the pump relays and everything. If i turn the car off and try it again with my finger, it won't happen. The car will start but only using the changed method above. What i noticed was that when i use my foot to press the clutch down, there's a limit to how much the solenoid will get pushed in. When i use my foot i dont really hear the clicking but the car will always start with the above changed method. I guess what i'm trying to say is there is about half inch more of the solenoid that can be pressed in but only with my finger or some tool. When pressing with your foot i think there's some rubber or plastic stopper that limits the distance the solenoids can travel. I don't think this has anything to do with it bc its something that didn't need to be touched during the install and was working perfectly fine before. Its just something i noticed but wasnt sure it it was related.

I hope that made sense. i'll try to make a video of what i'm talking about. It drove me nuts man. Before figuring out this "new" way to start my car i changed the battery, spark plugs ( which i needed to anyways, honestly) and the frkn fpdm harness.... YEA! ......so i mean if you get what i'm trying to explain and might have some advice/input plz help me out. I called FORE and they said talk to your tuner. Tuner said talk to FORE.....lol

Thanks
