NOT!

So most of you know I am the proud new owner of Trojan's 300C and I must say I am very happy and most impressed with everything,everything but the tune.Apparently the tuner doesn't believe in knock sensors.I had my suspicions and they were confirmed with a full load log,WOT in 4th gear at 30 mph.......there should have been at least a few degrees of knock...more like 5-6*.So I got to drive the car cross country like it was made of glass.......well the pistons may as well have with no knock sensors.So I go to download the tune to have the knock sensors turned on and ...gee....what a surprise.....the tuner is locked and I can't pull the tune.....way back I thought it was done to protect his tunes......after the way this car drives part throttle I am convinced it is so no one else can see just what kind of crap he loads in your car for a part throttle tune.

interesting...

 

[slideway]

Damm! that's scary!

 

[Junior]

Wow. I've heard that speculation before, and I'd love to hear your thoughts once you dump it and get another tune.

Sounds pretty crummy.

You will get my thoughts 100%.Imagine how thrilled I was going through Nebraska in the middle of the night only to find the one and only open gas station only had 89 octane and I had the gas light on.

 

[Magnum375 Jr]

Ouch, what do you plan to do to remedy the situation?

 

[Hemi31]

Ouch, what do you plan to do to remedy the situation?

new tune from scratch........oh yeah....the 02's and t-stat codes are shut off and locked in the tune so it will never show ready and never pass OBDII emissions.

 

[Magnum375 Jr]

Can you still use the tuner itself...like return to stock?

 

[imahemi]

WOW... erik!!!

 

[Carfinish]

ooof.... I knew he locks his tunes....but that other stuff is scarey...I'm sure you'll get it resolved sucks you have to go through it....shoud have been a clean inspection here in NY since the car came from Cali.

 

[Leadfootluke]

Steve knows what he's doing. Im sure it will get resolved in a timely fashion :thumbs_u:

Can you elaborate little more on this / put it in plain English (So us regular folks can understand :wink: ) as I have his tune and was always very happy with it but not if there is a chance of something wrong going to happen. Especially since I use nitrous....

Also how can I check if my O2 sensors are turned off and T-stat.
I have gotten the T-stat code twice in the last 8 months.........

More details please as I will need to be tuned in 2 months and now wouln't know who to use.anic:

 

[HEMI IN BAYVILLE]

Now that you mention it, I used to get the thermo code every now and again. Since hislast tune written to my car, I haven't seen it. It would seem that that's been shut off in my car as well. I wonder what else is shut off so I have no idea what's going on with my engine?? Who do you plan on using for your new tune Erik?

Chris go see AJ (Hemituner) in Long Island

AJ is the man!!!

 

[Hemi31]

Chris in plain English.......The Knock Sensors are Turned off or desensitized to the point they might as well be off.

 

[Trojan]

Yeah! I was never a fan of this last tune, Actually only put like 500 miles or less on it, Bottom line though!
It took Steve less then 1 hr to do that tune, The other 4 hrs were doing some crap with my predator I cant get into, I believe thats a HOP tune that Steve got his hands on and did his "magic" ie, turn of my sensors and make it not stall at abrupt stops. I was never happy with it either. I know for a fact Steve did not write a tune from scratch for this car. I dont care what he ever says. No way No how. period!

Im sure you will get it handled correct Erik!
