Actually steal blue sct said your stock file was not corrupt but it was more like the device thought the ecu was a different one that was married to another device because of the changed tune items i guess

An sct doesnt overlay in top of the stock values. When a tuner changes values in the tune for custom tuning you change the values and flash just like ford would do for a tune update...they call it a strategy change but they dont have to, they could call it rev 2 if they wanted

You could call fords base tune a ford custom tune if you wanted

Ah, they told me my stock file got corrupted, although I know you spoke them a bit more at length about it and ALOT more knowledgeable about than my input, good to know!

I read somewhere sct just overlays new values onto the stock tune and flashes the ecu, that's why the tuner requires that it download the stock file from the ecu first?

Thanks for the clarification!!

No problems swapping back to stock just the performance tune doesnt want to work. Whay has me baffled is the mpg tune works fine. Performance does not.. Not to worried at this point.taking sunday to throw my stock parts back on. And go trade it in the mext few weeks. Probly go back to another tacoma or something. Downside. Mama loses third row seats and daddy loses twin turbos. Owell. Even if it was botched id just grab my crap from work and reflash with ford files.

Why would you have to use your crap from work?..just use the device to return to stock?...

I wouldnt trade in a car over a failed tune lol...just find another tuner,the market is flooded with calibrators

How do you go to a fiesta from and explorer?..i think you just want one and need a reason lol

ultimately you simply have a bad tune and are dealing with the wrong person...i feel bad its going to cost you a car and lose thousands on a trade....you always lose on a trade...simply has to be that way....if you think dont feel ripped off then you just tolerate a good hole beating

Its not just the failed tune weve been tossing around the idea of a new truck for a minute or another small car loke the fiesta ST. Trading this beast in might even let us pay off our other car and be down to one car payment if i can finagle it.  I just see a lot of problems like... oil on the spark plugs for example. Kinda makes me wanna toss it like a hot rock before more problems arise. Oil in the manifold, mentioned earlier in the thread .... the crap from work would be if the stock file somehow got corrupted.

I think some of your issues will simply be resolved by ordering and replacing that  EGR Feedback pressure sensor on your 16xsport which if disconnected or removed alone can cause many issues to arise.  Z

She gone. Parts for sale post coming soon. Found us a double cab tacoma in a stick. Longevity, resale value, versatility of a truck, and reputation for dependability.. not even sure im gonna mod it much. Leaves me more money for my fish tanks and guns.. maybe floor liners or an intake, or step bars for the kids.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
