I guess the logs. You replied in my other thread about the cel. I had a tune and the cel flashed for 30 seconds so the next day I put it back to stock and brought the car in and they couldn't find anything wrong or logs that it even came onSuch as whether it's been tuned or not? Or the logs in your tuner?
If it continues to missfire then it will set new codes regardless of what you have done to the old ones.Shit so that's prolly why they couldn't find anything wrong. Is there any way for them to check the engine and see if it is bad misfires without having to see the code?
I wasn't thinking straight. I got home like 1 am after seeing the CEL flash with less than 50 miles till warranty expire. So when I woke up I put it back to stock and brought it to dealer. Honestly I'm totally new to all this and didn't know that it wold clear the logs or that I can even check it with my SCT tuner deviceYes, it does.
Why didn't you read the codes with your tuner?
What tune? What tuner? What was the car doing?
I was going like 60 then decided to push her a bit and floored it and it got up to like 80 then the CEL started flashing for like 30 seconds. I don't think it went faster than 80. It scared the shit out of me so I took my foot of the gas and it dropped down back to 60 again and went away. I decided to just drive her back home slowly after that.What was the car doing??
+1 Whenever you go back to stock tune with your tuner it clears everything. DTC/KAM. I had to let the car tune to show the problem at Ford and told them that I needed to go pick up something right quick and I'll come back drop it off. (I just went at the corner store to detune my car lol). The problem happened Stock or Tuned but whenever I put it back to stock I had to wait 500miles to get the symptoms back. So, I was f**k it. I'll bring it tuned with the problem and I'll drive with the tech next to me to show them. I just found an excuse for them to don't take it in directly and give me some times to detune it. Turns out I had 3 dead solenoids :headbonk:When you return it to stock it does clear any codes/KAM. Atleast it did on my '13.
It should flash really quickly as it finishes "Clearing DTC's/KAM"
Correct me if I'm wrong but when the CEL is flashing and not solid that means you have an immediate/potentially serious problem and you should pull over right away. If it's solid and not flashing it could be nothing to important.
My gf's 01 jetta was missfiring on every combustion stroke, engine was shaking violently and flashing the CEL, replaced spark plugs and all was good.
Keep your tuner in your glove box like I do in case the car throws a code, you can then pull over read the code, Google the code and then we can all better help you with the more information we have.
I guess my question is was the CEL flashing or solid since we don't have the code number.
