Default SCT X3 Data Logging

Well I just received my SF3 tuner. But when I try to use the data logging it says no PID's selected. What gives? It never gives me the option to select it.

LOL common issue with SCT tuners. Call em up, they will walk you through what to do.


Delta Force Tuning FTW. That is all.

UGH!!!!!!! Now, after it working all day yesterday and this morning. My fan won't cut on with the SCT. It is a brand new mishimoto unit. I have the settings lowest as can go on the SCT and the car is getting all the way to the L in "normal" without the fan coming on. While installing the tune, I hear the fan wailing away. This tune is gonna kill me.

One reason I dont like dealing with hand held tuners is the fact that I dont feel they flash correctly. Iv owned a Diablo, Superchips, SCT and they all had issues with flashing. Wether it was RPM, fan, timing, I just never felt like it was being done like I wanted.

Call bama and tell them whats up. there is likely a messed up scaler in there tune.

Well I returned the car to stock and I kept on having the same problem, so the guy I spoke to at Bama said it has nothing to do with their tune. I have an inkling feeling that the fan thermostat might've burnt out. Wether it was a cause of the tuner, or just bad timing is up in the air.

Trust me I debated with myself over tuners for 3 months before biting this bullet. And now I wish I would've gotten the Sniper.

Anyone know the return policy on SCT's to AM?
