Tuned - CEL Code Questions
Tuned - CEL Code Questions I got a custom mail order tune where the guy tuned me a pcm and sent it to me and i sent him back my old one. well the tune is awesome but right away i threw a CEL and had autozone check it and delete it, it said a "crank position sensor" or something like that. i read on here once before that when you swap a pcm from vehicle to vehicle it will drop that code and you have to correct it. is this true and what kind of software is needed? (someone named a certain software that some shops use for fixing this)
"crankshaft variation not learned"
take it to a dealership and a techII or take the car to a knowledgeable tuner to fix it.
It's a good reason only to do mail orders on the PCM from the vehicle it's going back into.

hey your from richmond! cool, i bought my car there lol. i didnt want to do it the way we had to, i had to drive over 2 hours to have several things done (basically booked a whole day at the shop) and my mechanic ordered my tune so he could tell the guy exactly what he wanted and i had no way of NOT having my computer to mail it off and wait for it to come back. of course after doing it i wished i had tried to work out something different haha..
I live in the west end, your car probably came from here if you got it from a dealer.
There is a board sponsor that does, or at least did do PCM swapping rather than working with the PCMs from the vehicles and he had made mention in more than 1 post that he didn't have this problem. Eventually one of his boltons customers grew into heads & cam and I had the opportunity to look through his PCM at that point, and I wanted to see if there was anything differently done that I could see to 'never' have a problem with it... the reason he "never had a problem with it" was that he turned off error reporting for the code. Only once have I seen this issue significantly affect a car, but that's enough to know that turning off error reporting is shady as hell.
Sorry for the soapbox, I had a few beers.
