Have y'all had any codes in the lower settings?

i had it in my car. threw a stabilitrak code.

my car has been tuned almost since day one in 2009 and i hadn't realized that my tuner had already adjusted the throttle delay.

installed the VTC back in july 2016 and didnt notice any change in throttle response. A few days later got a stabilitrak light. Im not sure if it was because of the VTC or not but once i removed it the stabilitrak light turned off on its own about 2 days later and never came back

so now its been sitting in the package it came in since that day in my garage

Haven't had a single issue yet. I mainly keep it on SP9.

I'm gonna reinstall mine soon and try running it on lower settings daily and try the upper settings occasionally and see what happens.

I've had mine about a year and no issue. I keep mine on SP5 for daily driving and move up to 7 or 9 if someone gets daring. This is on an RS.

I have had my camaro 8 years,and have done several upgrades such as cai,short headers,magnaflow mufflers,and never heard of this modification till a month ago,so ordered one yesterday and have read a lot of reviews more positive than negative reviews,so,my question is most of the reviews are within a couple months of putting it on,so,how is it long term,any concerns I should be prepared for? Thanks

u can get reduced engine power on the freeway for example and be totally trapped in a no power mode. It can happen alot so much so that I for example had to remove mine because I couldnt go up a hill without getting a reduced power mode

2 sides to every coin. I have had mine for over 5 years and 60K miles later, never had an issue.

Had mine since they were first released, had to reset it twice in total.

lemontwist · 10-01-2019, 07:19 PM

no problems here but i did have to reset it once.
the tuning shop said it would work good with the tune.

SSx2JAMES · 10-07-2019, 10:00 PM

mine did that also i unplugged it from my petal drove it to work after i reconnected the petal without it then cleared the codes and drove to work.when i got home i reconnected it and went thru the setup again i found a loose battery ground. so i think i had a bad ground on my battery.low battery voltage or bad ground causes problems with it.i haven't had a problem since i fixed the ground.
