Question Lost 4cyl mode w tune

Did a search could'nt find answer. Anyone know what would cause me to lose afm/dod w a custom tune?
Maybe something in the torque management??
any feed back is greatly appreciated.
Other than that car feels strong.

thanks john n

By custom tune are you talking a shop did it, or you did with a handheld?

A number of the handhelds take out the DoD on purpose. If it was a shop I'd talk to them.

if they know what they were doing which i bet they did. They should shut off the DOD to inititially do the tune so they dont get the wrong readings from 4cyl mode. Personally i wanted the DOD shut off and i like it much more.

With the DOD or AFM turned off, what is the fuel economy like?

Also how does the engine drive/feel? Any noise vibration etc?

You get no noise and vibration when it is off, that is why mine is off. that DOD vibe was annoying. Hwy numbers are marginally lower, but city is about the same.

car feels strong. Im almost getting the same mpg w the tune w/out 4cyl mode as before w/out tune and 4 cyl mode. I feel the tune really woke the car up and gave me the most of my other mods! Anyway Vince from Trifecta performance did a great job and is a pleasure to work with. I was able to data log from my lap top and send it to him he then made the proper adjustments to my liking. I think we did this process twice.. now car is a beast!Were still gonna try and get it running this good w 4cyl mode. But im not so sure i want the AFM back.

yeah, for my driving habits, my mileage went UP when I got my fueling dialed in and disabled the DOD...

lifetime average is currently 21mpg... used to be 18.5....
