Flash it back to stock! Get rid of the hypercrap and buy some HP tuners or EFI live. Or take it to a sponsor here if you are interested in a tune.

More than likely if there is no SES light its the hypercrap. I personally dont like them and would save my hard earned bucks for the real deal

I have used this type tuner with no problem. Make sure the model he has is for his application. When you download their program, it saves your stock program. Go back to stock and try loading it again. The load takes like 20 minutes and you don't do anything while it is downloading. If it works you will still need to clear the SES code.

So im guessing in order for everything to work properly ses has to go. The programmer is the right one for his car also.

If there is a bad sensor, the tune won't work properly. Get the SES problem resolved first.
