Need Urgent Help Please

joeice14 · April 9th, 2008, 07:03 PM

Well today I had my appointment for my oil change... Just two days ago I got the recall letter so I had them do the recall at the same time...
I asked them if they were going to touch the PCM and they said yes and said if I have a tuner to put it back to stock... I put my car back to stock and give it too them...
hour and half pass then I see a guy drive my car back in... I ask my service manger if it is just getting in and he says no it should be done... He goes in and then comes out saying you need to reinstall your tune cause you car is running like shit...
I reinstall my tune and my car WILL NOT START at all...
The starter goes but my car will not start....

I call up SCT they say I have to update my Firmware... I am almost positive I did so so I reinstall my tune about 10mins ago and I get the same shit...

I drove my car back from the dealer bogging and stalling it was horrible... 13miles of hell and I kept getting stuck on hills....

I really need urgent help.....

-Joe

Edit: I have a XCAL 3

they changed you ecu code perhaps

joeice14 · April 9th, 2008, 07:07 PM

how could we fix that... I briefly looked at my Stratgey code and it looked the same...

HMUSN · April 9th, 2008, 07:09 PM

you would have to talk to Joe about that. shoot him a PM

PiggySmallz · April 9th, 2008, 07:12 PM

you returned the car to stock...did you put the stock intake back in? that would help with the stock tune lol. Until then, give your tuner the new strategy code and such so they can retune the car properly for you

You think my stock intake will help... My car is acting possesed... Goes down too 500rpms or lower then bounces to 2500rpms then goes back and just goes back and forth.. Sounds like its cammed with a really bad tune... If I go to step on it... It just bogs like hell...

so fustrating...

Which recall? I just had mine done for the pass. airbag recall and they told me to leave my SCT/Brenspeed tune in. They did the flash and I was on my way without a problem.

HMUSN · April 9th, 2008, 07:19 PM

yea.. I would put the stocker back on and see what happens

PiggySmallz · April 9th, 2008, 07:35 PM

yes the stock will help...those are the symptoms of having an aftermarket CAI without a tune on an S197...it stalls and tries to find the proper air fuel and fails miserably. put the stocker back on ASAP!!!

I am going to disconnect the Negative Battery wire for 15mins then give it one last try... If nothing I am just going to switch it and hope for the best...

joeice14 · April 9th, 2008, 08:25 PM

Reps too HMUSN and Piggy....

Stock Intake made everything all better.... Joe called me and I check the Stratgey agian and it did change... When I was at the dealership it had not changed... Now it has changed and Joe is emailing me the New Tunes...

Reps for Joe, HMUSN and Piggy

HMUSN · April 9th, 2008, 08:29 PM

nice.

07 STROKER · April 9th, 2008, 08:29 PM

glad you are straightened out!

Trick Tuners · April 9th, 2008, 08:31 PM

Email sent with tunes for the new strategy. Try and install the CAI exactly the same as it was before and the tune should be perfect again. Shoot me the datalog so i can make sure. Damn dealers should leave the tuning to me!! haha.

PiggySmallz · April 9th, 2008, 08:33 PM

thanks man told you it would fix everything
