06 GTO SURGING

Post by MR_NO_EXCUSE »

What's up Diablo family?

I have been searching different forums for the last couple of days trying to figure out what is cause my car to surge at cruising speeds. I didn't have this problem before I installed the tune. When I first installed the tune it was great until I went WOT then it started surging from that point on. Then I tried both tunes and it did the same thing reguardless of which I install. I have the u7191 with the latest update in it(9r02). The car is a 06 M6 GTO with K&N CAI, JBA Shorties, and with Borla Cat-back.

Thanks,
Marcus

when did you get your predator? did it come with a 9rXX revision already on it, or was it an 8rXX revision?

a-HA!!

k... restore the original backup to your car...


then download and unzip this previous 8r06 revision http://www.eprowebdesigns.com/upload/u7 ... 0-8r06.zip


then, update the predator to that 8r06 revision...

here's how to do the revision update: http://diablosport.com/downloads/predat ... 0rev_4.doc


then, after the predator is back on revision 8r06, install the diablo tune to your car now and see if it still happens...
