Alright guys im pretty ignorant when it comes to tuning. My buddy mdub hooked me upand tuned me yesterday. He tuned me and every thing went fine. He lowered my fuel trim levels a little bit and reflashed it. Once he reflashed my car it would no longer start using the clutch. I had to push start it. I drove all the way from raleigh, nc to baltimore, md with out turing my car off. He thinks that i have to have a gm tech 2 relearn the clutch in the ecu. I was wondering if any of you all experianced this and no how to fix it or know whats going on. I cant tell you all the details of the tune, like i said but if any of you know what you are doing i would appreciate the information. Apparently the ecu of the 10s are more sensitive than that of the 09s. I did not find this when i researched the tunes for my car. Thanks guys.

 

whats he using to tune u? u sure he knows what he is doing on the lnf?

 

Hes using hp tuners. No offense but saying he doesnt know what hes doing is like saying ken block doesnt know how to drift.

 

Lmfao ...... It won't start after being tuned by clutch? Check ure I fuse. Your friend Matt should have helped you diagnose it. And I hope he didn't give you a **** tune called 30psi spike

 

You are new to the cobalt community arnt you? Matt is tied for best tuner of cobalts on the east coast. Along with terminator. He does care because he did help diagnose it with me up to his level of echelon. He also only charged me 100 for a bad ass tune. im not pushin 30 psi btw. tunedby clutch? Its not the fuses. Im not an idiot. Dont insult me or the best cobalt tuner if your not going to help.

 

You don't spend much time on here do you? Lol

 

Do you know nathan benton? 1lnf2nv?

 

I know if you write a file from a 08 or 09 onto a 10 computer **** like this can happen. Is it possible he accidentally used a base tune from an 08 or 09 and did a write entire to your computer?

Kevin

 

See this is where the weird **** comes into play. He had a file made up for my year and flashed it. Then afterhe flashed it it said it was a 09. It was made a 10 though before he flashed it. so i really dont know if i can answer your question. Actually he didnt use a base tune he started of with a tune for my year an added the trims from an 09 with my components.

 

haha are you new around here? James (chevycobaltss3) is by far one of the most knowledgable and well known LNF tuners around. He's not here blowing smoke, nor is he trying to insult you. You asked for help and he told you something to check. Take a look at the tuner review thread and you will see how reputable he is

 

No not new.Hard to call someone new who has been here longer than you. Also easy to stand by ones side as well. Thats basically what im doing for matt. Great guy. New wht he was doing. Just didnt work much on 2010s. Hes seen this before but its not much you can do when your limited to what you have. Im not here to argue over whose better im just trying to see if anyone has ever run into the same issue and what theyve done to correct it. From what matt told me is that i have to relearn the clutch on the ecu because the computer no longer reconizes the clutch as engaged when starting the vehicle. He had other 10s that had the same issue and were fine after doing so.

 

Yea man I'm not trying to have a pissing contest to say who's better. I've seen this problem occur and from what I have read you will need to re-learn the ecu, shouldn't be too bad as long as you can find a decent dealer to go to. BTW I have heard good things about mdubs tunes, so I wasn't trying to bash. I just thought it was funny that you ask one of the top tuners for this platform if he was new lol

 

Lol I am not new, and I've been with the LNf since day one. I gave you something to check so diagnose the issue and resolve it. East coast west coast. If we had all the tuners in one spot, all of us would learn something wether good or not. I by far take more time on a car then anyone I know.. I am very ****.... Very lol. Not the sexual way either lol.... I won't trust one person that says. A 30 psi spike on a LNf is safe on stock turbo... It's purely stupid, irresponsible, unsatisfactory and honestly gives hptuners tuners a bad name. If I wasn't a tuner and I didn't know what I was doing the last person of go to is Matt. Just because someone makes tq doesn't mean **** in a stand point of how many 30 psi spikes have blown lol. What's his stock turbo power? Mines 363 and I have a lot of guys making great numbers on larger turbos.

 

Why didn't he read your ecm and make the changes to your file? Why use a file from another car? He should of just used the compare feature and copy the changes from his file onto your file.
Could of swore hpt has a clutch relearn option, but im not certain.

 

See i dont know him as one of the top tuners. I dont know him. I dont look into the tuner review file because ive never needed too. I knew mdub was close, he was a good tuner and he was of fair price. If i would of new he was the best tuner to his area which i dont know of, i wouldve asked him in detail what went wrong.

 

Thats what he did. He made a file for my car and used the tunes for certian components such as the intake on my file. Now something couldve went wrong between the reflash with the lower fuel trims where an 09 file went in instead of my file but im not too savy with tunes and computers.

 

It's cool man, **** happens. I've heard good things about M-dub but haven't ever worked with him so can't say much from what I have read. Hope you resolve your problem tho!

 

I dont understand your issue here. What are you talking about with these 30 psi spikes. Ive never said 30 psi ever. Matt didnt lead me to a unsafe tune. He did the exact opposite. I dont know if you have a history with matt or what but it means nothing. Alot of people i trust have been tuned by him. By far he did an amazing tune. Im not positive on the numbers im pushing now but its a hell of alot better than what i was pushing. I beat a 5.0 at a 60 roll in 5th gear alone, without downshifting at all. I dont understand your rants with these unsafe tunes. I never said anything about torque either. His stock turbo power? i think its like 325 on a stock sti? Im not sure about his Rs4 either.

 

I'm not ranting, lol... He gives out 30 psi spikes without logging them lol.. Nm.......

 

Well i appreciate that we could look past the nonsense and focus on the problemm at hand..seriousley. I would have went to james if i knew where he was and if it was convienint(cant spell) for me to drive to while on my way to maryland. Which its not convienent to travel 400 miles without turning your car off but whatevs. Thanks anyway.

 

Really?! Will the stock rpd boost gauge pick up on it cause so far i havent pushed past 20 i think. I cant remember i was too busy controlling torque steer to stay on the road to watch the guage. Nevertheless, please indulge me on these unsafe tunes he throws out. I really want to learn the dark side of mdub.

 

It'll pick up 23-24 if tuned for it if right scaling for the maps are in and stock maps. If 3bar it'll pick up anything till 30-31psi but not on rpd.. Start in 3rd get on it at 2k and if he gave you a reliable respectful tune the boost won't just hit it'll ramp slowly to your desired boost. Smart tuning for a dd

 

Actually now that you think about it it did hit full boost rather quickly in 5th. Once i get my car able to run again without push starting it i will have to test it out with some pulls. I dont know how quick is too quick though. This may sound stupid but do you mean start off in 3rd gear? or be in third gear while driving then get on it at 2k?

 

Let me be the first to raise this BS flag.
