Is that on the non-touchscreen models?

Either way, correct.....

Requesting any/all files emailed as I suggested, would work as well.

That is the newer no touch screen version.

You are correct about the tune files getting emailed. I understand all tunes written are kept on the LMS server identified by user/car.

Ok something isn't right, coming back from a long drive a few WOT runs to 60 and I am getting a hesitation (sound like a misfire) pop pop pop. I have had the old tune in my car off and on for over a year. And other than the occasional shutdown from too much tire spin lol it ran perfect. I am now wishing I had the old tune back. What gives?

  Careful with that pop pop pop as a SHO here was killed here by 1 pop..

That sucks to say the least, in my case I believe that it is most likely a bad plug. I took the car out again and did a bit more logging, it doesn't miss all the time. Just under WOT and not always. No knocking reported by the computer, boost looked good and all other parameters looked normal too. I am going to change out the plugs tomorrow, for $30.00 it's an easy fix to say the least. I may not have noticed it before as I possibly didn't really drive that hard since I installed the plugs. Who knows, but for some reason it's missing at WOT and only sometimes. My laptop reported 7 misfire events during the drive, and nothing else. We shall see.... I'll let you guys know how I make out.

On another note when I plugged in my laptop I got a new DTC lol, it seems I have a bad heated mirror lol. So back to the dealer I go......

Might want to return to stock tune before going to dealer, just in case.

So I picked up another set of plugs from my local dealer, and weird that these were already at 0.030. The other set that I got were allover the place. Some at 0.040, 0.035. I will take it for a drive later today and do some logging and see what happens. I'll let you guys know. Also you may want to have an extra plug boot handy, as I found out when one of mine decided to stay on the plug and I had to use needle nose pliers to get it off the plug lol.

Remember when you could use a spark plug boot puller to assist in removal?  Well, I do :D  Hopefully this new set of plugs will do the trick :thumb:

^^Yes I do! ;). Is there any software that will show which cylinder the misfire occurred? The program I have only shows when it occurred not which cylinder.

If you can pull the codes, you should see p0300 for random misfire, or p030x for specific cylinder misfire, I believe.

That is correct Manu.  The cylinder numbering can be found here:

I pulled the codes and the only codes I got was the mirror and the sd card being ejected. Nothing about the misfire,

There is a allowable amount of miss fires before it will throw a code.

Chris... does that means that no cylinder is identified unless it individually reaches the threshold for a code and otherwise it's a generic P0300 code if multiple cylinders combined exceed the threshold?
