Bonnies brother who lives in Houston said the same thing. I forgot the price was 1400.00 WITH the tune. Here it was 1400.00 install only. So I was kind of basing it on that. But even after gas and all, I'll be 800.00 to the good. Gas to J-Ville or gas to Houston is the same. 500.00 for the tune makes 900.00 savings. Trailer rental, 70.00 so I"m still doing good. And anyway, I'll see all you knuckleheads at the fest. And Bonnies coming now so that's kinda bonus. lol |

In any case I'm sure things will get sorted out once you start to dial things in with EFI. Can't wait to hear the good news. Cheers.

The rear O2's have no effect on fueling or engine performance in any way. They are only there to report to the ECM on the cat efficiency.
After a lot of driving with no cats, but the rear O2s active in the tune, the only thing that will happen is a check engine light and error code for cat efficiency. All engine fueling trim adjustments are done off the front O2s. Something else is probably up there, a good tuner should be able to figure it out. Just don't let them go straight to wide open throttle to redline, until digging into what may be causing the trouble codes. Probably just some little pesky snafu somewhere another set of tuning eyes should be able to find. The engine should be able to idle fine on that base Maggie tune. It's still a stock engine, trying to idle at stock RPM, the air and fuel requirements should be fairly baseline. It's like an air pump. It's still a stock air pump trying to run at 600 rpm. Now if the cam was significantly changed or cubic inches upped... that's when a baseline tune can really have a tough time idling. Because the base airpump has changed significantly. But a stock engine idling at 600 rpm under no load or boost, is going to have a pretty baseling idle fuel requirement. Even if it had open headers or free flowing intake. Assuming the MAF is reading correctly. |

Well, I'm at a total loss then. And I will just wait to get to the tuner. I've done everything discussed. Even started it without the blower pump plugged in. Maybe something is broke? |

Im hoping that everything goes well for ya! Just finished my gauge install today and while looking at my gleaming maggie, I felt bad (about 6 seconds) for you and your tuning ordeal. All will be better soon I hope!

Does your check engine light work? The engine symbol should come on and stay on with the key in the ignition on position, but engine not started. One position past accessory. The seat belt light should come on flashing and right below that the engine symbol should be on. If the ECM can't turn the MIL lamp on during this bulb check, there is something up there.

Any ideas and I'm still all ears. Last thing I want is to get there and be surprized.

You mean like a drunk clown with a scary face or finding out that you have a wire unplugged?
