Alright so here is my sob story, i got my car tuned, i have a 2008 cobalt ss/tc i have the hahn intake intercooler charge pipes catless downpipe and 3 in exhaust, i got it tuned and i only dynoed 266whp n 335wtq, not happy with that hp number. i started poping cel for random misfires took it to the dealer and said my coils and plugs were fine, on the dyno i started blowing out smoke from the exhaust and was told by the tuner it was oil, and that i might have a blown turbo. so when i had it at the dealer i asked the service rep to take a look at it, we are good friends, said all was fine. i finally found someone in my area with HPTuners, hes a vette guy but he doesnt do tuning, he let me use his hpt i pulled the tune and got some logs and sent them to a member to take a look at it. he told be the tune was horrible and understood why my number where as bad as they were. issue, i dont have any more money for another tune, spent the borrowed 100 i got to license the car. was told the car is running super rich at 11.0 and has less than stock timing and my maf tables werent even touched considering i have the intake. id be so greatful if someone was able to help me out, i dont want to *** up my car as it is my dd. again the issue i ran into with the member i sent the file to is i have no money to pay for another tune. now i did license the car, so if anyone would have the patients to help me tune the car myself or help me out with a tune(i doubt) id appreciate it so much. if anyone is willing to help me please pm me asap. my other contact info is eric 915-203-4531, eric_solis@hotmail.com.

 

his tune is pretty bad, car sounded like a dying dog at one point...

 

thank bro, adding insult to injury, lol this suck ass bro

 

haha totally not what i meant! but yea man this does suck...
i need to datalog my car and see whats up with my tune also. or send it to someone who can tell me if the tune is any good...

 

this **** sux man, i jus hope someone can help me out

 

i would look into the thread that explains LNF tuning, maybe you can learn a few things and do it yourself

 

honestly at this point. flash the car back to a stock tune until you can save up

 

thats just it i dont have my stock tune its on the tunes laptop,i had to look for someone local with hptuners.

i joined the hptuner forum too posted my situation hopefully someone will lend a helping hand, even if it not a tune at least something that might help me fix the tune thats on it now.

 

do you have aim? i have a stock SS/TC tune i can send you.

im sending a stock tune to your email now

 

no i dont, sorry

 

Who tuned you was it someone on here? Also you should go punch them in the head for such a crap tune.

 

is there n e way u can get the money bak from this suck-ASS TUNER?

 

im talking to him see if we can work something out, he said hed fix it but its kinda dicouraging when another tuner looks at the tune and tells you its really bad.

and yes the tuner was from the forum... ill leave it at that, as much as this sux hes helped me out before and also tuned my 06 ss sc with no issues.

 

PM sent

 

My suggestion is maybe find someone with a similar setup to send you a tune and upload it. Then log to see if it's closer.

 

If hes using hptuners,then he shouldnt charge you again because once u pay the $100 u can tune it again for free.

 

I want to know who the tuner was.

 

me 2

 

I think we all do. We don't want anyone else getting scammed.

 

The answer is in his previous posts, but I started to feel stalkerish and didn't post it.

 

I can't decipher it. lol

 

even if its on a different hptuners account, its not the same guy i originally got tuned by, this guy is just helping me out by letting use his HPT

well jus finished talking with the other guys that got tuned with me, all are popping CEL, n telling me car isnt pulling as hard as they thought. only one guy is happy and hasnt seen any cel or anything, he doesnt drive a cobalt though.

 

i'd put your stock airbox back on as well intakes have been known to cause issues and **** with tunes

 

i did swap it back in but still had the same issues plus i had term2 look over the tune and some logs of the car and said it was jus a bad tune, worse hes seen.

 

yup misfires ftl! they scare me
