20 questions...-3 to +7 LTFT adj on '07 5.3? Whats the deal?

[Chuck_yager]

Have you heard anything from Johan about my file? I know he is probably a very busy man, so I try to be patient;)

[06MonteSS]

nope...

he's workin on tcm support stuff... I don't wish to disturb him...

[Chuck_yager]

I couldn't agree more! LOL

[Chuck_yager]

We'll have to try something else...Tune file and a whole slew of other attachments coming your way in a sec via email.

[Chuck_yager]

I'll upload the tune at lunch and give you an update in the morning. Going hunting, so I should be able to put several miles, w/ lots of idling, stopping and restarting the engine, so I think I should be able to get a CEL to come on..... we'll see!

[Chuck_yager]

So far I have not seen the CEL come on after 120 miles..... I am sure I just jinxed it now..LOL! The idle is back to being kinda unsettled as before. When I get a chance, I'll try to do a log idling so you can get a good look at what its doing. The idle seemed to be better with the last tune, but that could be just coincidence i guess... It seemed like the last tune was better performance wise overall, with the idle being the most notably improved. I'll keep an eye on the dash to see if the light comes on. Where do we go from here?

[06MonteSS]

to a friggin' bar!!

[Ill_Born_SS]

My vote is in... BEST ANSWER of the MONTH!

[Chuck_yager]

SWEET! I second that one! It's got to be 5:00 somewhere.....right? I made a sacrifice to the car gods in hopes that they will smile on us and allow that last tune to be the one that allows the MIL codes to quit coming up and allow us to move on to other things!

[Chuck_yager]

So far, so good...... I'll update this weekend or on Monday to let you know if the light comes back on. Maybe then we can tackle the idle....?

[06MonteSS]

nice!!!

[Chuck_yager]

The car gods HATE us. Apparently a for pinto is not an acceptable sacrifice......
Got the P0430 code this morning. Your turn! LOL

[06MonteSS]

I quit...


NEXT!

[Chuck_yager]

Muffler bearing is tight, blinker fluid is full. I'm stumped.

[Chuck_yager]

Lew, I downloaded the .7 version of the downloader. It had (prev version) or something like that by it. That's the only one w/ a 7 at the end. It's the correct one, right? It didn't ask me abt the TCM file. I restored original backup to the truck and am going to start all over just to make 110% sure it is right. I just wanted to question you about that little quirk.
