2005 Chevy Silverado 2500 w/ 8.1L throttle sticking

Post by Anders_Y »

I installed the latest Diablo Tune on a 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the 8.1L gas motor. Odd thing happens...when I press the pedal further than 1/4 throttle, the throttle sticks wide open for about 30 seconds. Wild ride! Any ideas Lew? Haven't tweaked the default yet, just trying to get started.

Is it definitely tune related? I can think of a bunch of things that could cause this unrelated to the tune.

Wasn't doing it prior to the tune. When I selected the program, there was no 8.1 under 2005 2500, so I selected the 8.1 under 1500, could that be it? Going to go back to factory and see if it continues.

Damn Mike! Working on the weekend! I appreciate it, and will do as soon as I have a second. It'll probably be this week.

Here are the files. Here are the stats on the truck...

2005 Chevrolet 2500HD w/8.1L 4WD CrewCab

I chose "with ETC" because it is drive by wire.
