lilmarv1117 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Ok codes are- low coolant.engine low power.pcm throttle communication problem. I need a tuner to call them and help them pin point the problem does anyone have a number to get ahold of blackbear(Justin) or another person Are you sure it was 100% installed correctly?? Did u use the stock throttle body?? Are u sure your intercooler is working, and wired correctly? I dont know your whole story with this install. Im sure the tune is correct and wheatley conservatively tuned you, but you never know..Good luck with getting ahold of him. I know he is busy. But some people around here will feel your pain about getting the tune, then being unable to contact him. off topic but I checled out ur garage, we need more pics of this beauty man! nice mod list Thanks man! I have some updated pics on facebook, if your on there. But I dont post up too much of pics, even on facebook. I have a couple youtube videos of 1/4 runs before my most recent runs.

RickRolled Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Yes used the stock throttle body yes the intercooler is working he told me he could push the gas pedal to the floor and no response on the engine what so ever. Do i need to do a crank re-learn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chpspecial Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Sounds like the truck is in REP, reduced engine power, do to a throttle correlation issue due to the increased airflow vs. Predicted air flow. You just need a retune. sent from my thunderbolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickRolled Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 well a crank re-learn wouldnt be right because it ran fine yesterday:shakehead: i kinda just wish i had my truck back to normal now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_aSSet Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I tried texting Wheatley yesterday and nothing, hopefully you get in touch with him soon, and hopefully that's the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickRolled Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 i finally got ahold of him and told him what the problem was but he said he cant really help because he is not here which i kinda understand i am going to get the actual codes from the shop and see if he can pin point the problem that way.

You just need a retune. sent from my thunderbolt Did u keep ur original pcm or did u swap it for a tuned one?? If u have ur original pcm and the maggie programmer, then just use the maggie programmer to get you in the ballpark on the original pcm. Then you can have wheatley log your truck to dial you in closer. Just a suggestion to get you on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea you'd really need a log for him to be able to really see what's going on, I'd say just recheck everything from the install, go through everything step by step and see if something came loose or something like that.

RickRolled Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Got the kit used so I don't have the superchips programer tuned for my vin. So u think it could be the pcm do I have to do a crank re-learn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bag Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 You need to first pull the actual codes ie: P0068 or something and go from there. The code will send you in the right direction as to if it's a PCM tuning issue or an actual mechanical issue. I'm sorry you have to go through this. This is why I went with a local in person tuner. So just try and be patient, I know it's hard cuz of the excitement and the let down back to back but when you deal with out of state tuners that are super busy this is what you get.

chpspecial Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 To narrow things down a bit, erase the codes. The truck will go back to normal operation if it is a MAF/TB correlation problem. As long as you drive normal and out of boost you will be OK. IF its a mechanical issue, the codes will come right back. Also, make sure all the connection to and from the TB are good, and have no loose wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickRolled Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I am pretty surecit is not a mechanical issue the code is p1518 which is a communication problem I think. Good news is a local tuner gut is going to the shoo tonight to hookup to it and if it is my tune they will put my stock pcm back in and tune that thing if that doesn't work I'm sol again so pray that this guy can actually do his job and get my truck running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
