06 charger cai tune shifts tranny to neutral when tires spin

Post by 76malibu »

Just got the Intune I1000. After an hour of doing all the updates, which I'm glad to see that it's being updated, I put the CAI Tune onto my PCM. It's an 06 Charger RT with a Mopar CAI, 89K miles, that's it. Car runs like a bat outta hell but when I floor it and the tires spin the transmission shifts to neutral. I can't accelerate, only thing I can do is shift to neutral, turn the car off and then back on then shift to D and it's just fine. There is a check engine light coming on when this happens, I forget the code but it mentions MIL something... and this happened with the traction on and off. I never had an issue with the car before I put this tune on it. Any suggestions? Thoughts? :twisted:

you need better tires...or learn to roll into the throttle :)

Car is making too much power for those tires to hold now.

If you raised shift points, be sure to bump the limiter a bit.

Its hitting the rev limiter and going into limp mode. Gotta raise the limiter.

Good information... I'm assuming there isn't a setting where I can keep bouncing it off the limiter without it going into limp mode? FYI - month old bf Goodrich t/a tires, not the tires, just gotta re-learn the car I guess. I'm hesitant on changing the rev limiter cause I don't want to blow the motor... $5-6K for a new motor, not installed.
