Problem with tune (lots of code errors)
Hello there.
I'm from Spain and recently bought a 2010 v6 that already had the P0430 code (Catalyst System Efficiency below threshold, bank 2). Changed plugs, wires and lambda sensors and it's still there.
Got a SCT X4 for tune it and, despite the fact that my model should be preload tune supported, device said it wasn't. Once I contacted SCT they sent me preload tunes as custom files, and applied the 93 one (already proper gas in tank -EU 98 is the equivalent to US 93-), all was ok in theory. When i went for a ride, felt throttle wasn't responding properly so when arrived home I looked for codes and found a lot:
P0430 (my old friend)
P0600 (Serial Communication Link)
U0300 (Internal Control Module Software Incompatibility)
P2105 (Throttle Actuator Control System - Forced Engine Shutdown)
Seeing that mess, I dedided back to stock, and in theory it did, but car still feels bad, AND all those codes are still present!
I don't know if the problem is that there was already a tune when bought the car, but aftermarket parts were removed (all parts seem to be stock) or if the PCM/ECU is or was damaged...
Any clue of what could be the problem and what could be the solution?
Thanks in advance.

Nope for tune.
But at least I could fix the P430. It seems previous owner closed EGR valve so I got new one and cleaned one of the catalytic converters that seemed to be a bit stuck = error gone.
ECU got too a factory update. No issues with that.
Tried tune before that but got the exact same problems, so I guess the problem is with SCT pre-loaded tunes.
I'm getting a 2014gt in 2 weeks so I don't care anymore with this particular issue.
