Default Warning-watch out for shoddy tunes!

This customer was wondering why his fuel economy went to crap!

I guess they figure if they just turn off the codes nobody would notice.

Are you looking at rear O2 sensors or am I missing something?

look at all the P0170 codes-there all set to no error reported. Basically your car could be trimming well over +/-25% and you would never know.

I guess this is a quick and easy way to tune to get cars out the door.

you da man dude!!!!! I find it amazing how many guys spend a fortune on cars, motors, power adders, etc...then blow up yearly. With the tune you did for me, my old motor lasted 7 years.....multiple runs and tons of abuse....I guess the proof is in the pudding ....and I loves jello pudding!!!!!
