Default RE: CMDP Install - Car wont run

I did in my original e-mail (when they asked what other mods they needed to tune for), and they said I'd get the tune "next week."

That was last Friday, and on Wednesday I e-mailed them asking for the status of my tune. They told me "all new tune updates are sending out Friday." I got my new tune at 9:00 p.m. last nigh. Is it possible with all the other tunes being sent at once or whatever that they maybe sent me somebody else's tune? The tune is called "92 OCTANE DELETE PLATE.ll3," so maybe they only tuned for the new plates and disregarded or missed something in my list. They could have even been tuning for somebody who only had CMDPs or something and gave me that tune by accident. It wouldn't run this roughly (i.e. not at all) if it was tuned for 93 octane (I'm running 92), would it?

What do you think?

It's all conjecture unfortunately Brother. We can't possibly know what the problem is be it with the motor or the tune... I know it's tough but once you get confirmation on the contents of your tune, you're going to have to wait or keep searching through the engine bay for loose plugs, nipped wires and the like..
Good luck with it.

Thanks. Is Brenspeed open on weekends, or will I have to wait until Monday for a return email?

If it is the tune I may seriously consider giving up on mail order tunes and just getting a dyno tune.

I have nothing against Brenspeed or any other canned tune vendor, but honestly, a custom dyno tune is the best [only] way to get the thing running at it's best. And of course, as you see, problems like yours simply do not happen.
I know not all people are close enough to a reputable shop/dyno facility, but if you have one close enough to get to, I would recommend anyone to make the extra effort and go toit.

The closest place that I would even consider for dyno tuning is 30 miles away (same place that did my gears) and with my car in its current state it might be tough to get it there. So I'll have to either get a working tune or figure out what I missed in my motor.


Anybody know if Brenspeed is open on weekends?

If I were you I would not e-mail Brenspeed, I would call them right now. I am sure if you called they would be able to help you out and plus, it is so much faster than e-mail.

Well I broke down and tried to call them (even though I have no time and am leaving for work right now) and their office closes at noon on Saturdays.
