Did you replace the injectors with stock size? What have you done to it to need a tune?

it wont throw a code( well at least mine didnt) you need to get a tech2 (or some other type scan tool) and look at the datastream and see what the temp sensors are doing so you can rule that out. you dint have to mess with the sensor for it to mess up. or just get a tune and see if that fixes it...
