It's a gift of mine Noobz, it's a gift......Fish in a MF barrel.
I emailed Brian at DIY Autotune yesterday. On my way into work, I followed that up w/ a phone call. Brian wanted the project file, and a TS debug file that was on this computer.
Only problem was I had already left for work.
So when I get home last night I sent him that stuff. The TS debug file was a .txt file. How he can make any sense out of that is beyond me, but he has it.
Today, I'm taking this thing into work w/ me on the off chance that he'll want something else, or in case I sent him the wrong junk.
When this is all done, I'm thinking that I'm gonna end up deleting everything and having to download the T/S MS software again. Then rebuild the project, then dump in one of the previous tunes, then hope to hell that everything works after that.
But then again, I do have automotive hypochondria.....

What?.... it sucks that I may have to start over, or it sucks that I'm an automotive hypochondriac?
Alrighty then,.....progress.
Brian at DIY e-mails me something today to the effect that says that it looks like my ECU was running along fine, and just started spitting out bad data and extra bytes of data.
Thinks the firmware (3.4.2 ) is possibly corrupt and will need to be re-installed. He wants to remote in to see what's up.
Who am I to argue?

You can't imagine whats going through my cartoon mind right now
Tiny little gansters with their little guns pointed sidways and a big hand in there flicking at them with it's finger.
Man, I need a drink!

I thought you were the competition? I mean... he works for "the man" and all... you're just the local hero who wants to help! (which is WAY cooler than being "the man")
Ok,......soul baring time.....
One of the questions Brian asked me (prepressing the question with a "Sorry for the dumb sounding question") was.......
It does have gas in it doesn't it?
I immediately respond with "Why of course it does",....to which he says,....."Just thought I'd ask, cause from the way it looks,....it just "looks" like some of the stuff happening is doing so because the car is running out of gas."
I tell the guy that that can't be the case, and ask what about all of the weird junk happening at the bottom of the tuning screen.
He says there may be stuff still going on, but he just wanted to be sure that there's gas in the car....
FFFFFSHAAAWW!! The nerve of this guy I tell ya!!
Now I'm not so sure. What if all that is wrong with the car is simply the difference between 1 gallon of gas,....and none?
I'm still at work, where I'll be till 7:30.
I'm almost too embarrassed to go down there and check. Cause if that turns out to be the case......................
Which one of you rabid attack animals will be the first to pounce on the poor,...helpless,..........idiot?

ME! ME! OOH, OOOH OOH! I will!
If i lived in birmingham Mike, you wouldn't even have to go home, i would already be there right now finding out!
Seriously though, wouldn't that be great if all that this is? What a freaking relief for you, in a way, except that you let us know, of course.
We need to be reminded periodically that Mike is human....
What you mean is that he has been programmed to imitate human behavior through the occasional commission of positronic brain farts, right?
I hope that guy is really that good, to be able to read your broken fuel gauge for you from where ever he is sitting.
