x-cal 2 install

Ridinlow6969 · November 1st, 2007, 07:39 PM

i just received my x-cal 2 that i ordered from bamachips and i had a few questions. i noticed in the instructions it says this.."First disconnect the fuel pump and electric fan fuses" where do i find these at? the next thing i was wondering is will it show on the tuner the name of the custom tunes i ordered such as performance or torque tune or will it just show something like programs 1,2 and 3. and will it save my stock tune by itself or is there an option i have to go to for that. hope someone can help me with this,i don't really want to start messing with it until i know for sure what im doing,lol

it will show what you named the tune.

it will also automatically save your stock tune.

the fuses are under the hood in your fuse box.
be sure that you pull them.

Ridinlow6969 · November 1st, 2007, 07:53 PM

will the fuses be labeled wut they are?

HMUSN · November 1st, 2007, 07:56 PM

it should show what fuses are what once you take the top of the box off.

look at the bottom of the lid.

Ridinlow6969 · November 1st, 2007, 08:12 PM

ok i found the fuses but i see 2 of them for the fuel pump. ones a 15amp fuse and the other is labeled as a micro relay. its one of the big square grey fuses,do i remove them both?

Ridinlow6969 · November 1st, 2007, 08:29 PM

so does anyone know if i need to remove the fuse and the relay or just the fuse?

HMUSN · November 1st, 2007, 09:11 PM

remove both.

ESG-642T · November 1st, 2007, 10:05 PM

You don't have to remove either -

HMUSN · November 1st, 2007, 10:06 PM

^ you should.

Your battery would have to be at less than 2% to die

HMUSN · November 1st, 2007, 10:15 PM

and your fuel pump or fan coming on would easily Drain that 2 %.

they are automatically controlled by your ecu.

unless you pull the fuses they can come on even with the car off.

why take the chance?

itschristorres8 · November 2nd, 2007, 01:29 AM

ive had my fan come on while installing a tune...it'll drain

97TunedMustang · November 2nd, 2007, 03:51 AM

yep pull the fuses. while tuning both the fuel pump and fan come on and dont shut off till the tune is done. Not sure why but yea thatd be why they tell you to pull them

ESG-642T · November 2nd, 2007, 03:57 AM

Guess i'm the only one with a decent electrical system

they go on in all cars...its suppose to happen

i guess your the only one with a bad electrical system

Onemanzu · November 2nd, 2007, 12:05 PM

pulling the micro relay isn't needed... pulling just the fuse will over ride the relay making it not come on

Juggalo_X · November 2nd, 2007, 12:10 PM

Definitely pull the fuse the PCM must have a steady 24v feed if it happens to fluctuate your going to have a dead car. Its very possible and has happened MANY times, allot of ppl have fucked there pcm flashing it. Especially when you DO NOT follow the instructions provided by the tuner manufacturer, like some ppl with red cars here do :wink

Juggalo_X · November 2nd, 2007, 12:12 PM

I also remember back when some one programed there PCM with SCT and did not follow the instructions and there car ran like a bag of shit. was that you christorres??

Onemanzu · November 2nd, 2007, 12:13 PM

but yall... he has a livewire which doesn't require to be pulled cause it is ment to be plugged in and ran while the car is running the only thing for him is he has to plug it in while the car is off then turn the car on after its plugged in then he is good to go...

yah when the car is running and he ISNT flashing the pcm. when you are flashing the PCM SCT states you should disable the Fuel pump and Cooling fan to prevent PCM flash misshapes. Sniper dont recommend to unplug these and i still do because i know if that pcm gets a hiccup then im fucked.
