Threw my First Code

Kroy · 08-21-2009, 02:05 PM

Hey guys, just threw my first half engine light yesterday. I tuned my JB+ up to 90% last weekend... so that was fast. Turned off the car, restarted and the half engine light was gone.

I may be a little paranoid but I hope it's just my JB+ and isn't my HPFP. Some small part of me now detects more lag at 2K rpm range. Again, could be my paranoia. *sigh* I really need a BT now.

If it is 30FF, do the free solenoid bypass!

No BT so I don't know the codes it threw. Just know half engine light isn't something to look foward to.

Similar experience here Kroy. Went to 100% with bypass 5 days ago and got half engine warning. Restarted and resolved. No problems in the past 2 days since then. I'll stay at 100% for now. If it happens again, I'll get her scanned. Anything less than 100% just didn't give the seat of the pants increase I was looking for. Talked with Terry and he felt there was no problem with this approach.

Good luck with yours.

BTW, excellent customer service from Mike and Terry.
