  10. TuneECU Guide (when ok to start engine)

    Help, the tuneECU user's guide says to start with key on - kill switch on - engine off. However, it does not state when it is safe to start the engine, when performing the DIAGNOSTIC and TEST functions. I know if you happen to start a car while DTC's are being read you can cause major problems.

    Just had my 500 mile service and mentioned to the dealer that there was a fairly significant stumble, surge, and otherwise not smooth engine run in the low to mid 2,000 rpm range, most noticeable in first and second gear. Sometimes I hear what sounds as a internal clank like a chain noise. So...
