Default After My tune...

After i got my tune done, the "theft" light will blink for roughly 5 minutes then shut off. i went back in and they said this is normal and it will shut off... well it did shut off, its just that every time i start my car it does it for near 5 minutes... is this really normal? thanks.

Yeah. I got a superchip. and the dyno couldnt get my car to start. I work for a dealership and i came back after getting a bite to eat. Kinda mad after i waited 2 hors and still not started. Well, i came back and showed them what to do. BEcause of the PATS system. But yeah, its not normal for the THEFT light to blink.

do you have a chip then? i thought you said you didn't have a chip.?.?.? what brand of chip is it??

i have heard of paul's high performance... they are big in the drag racing scene and have some pretty quick cars... they are already working on an 05 GT. if you go to their website, they have a pic on the front page. http://www.paulshp.com/
