Minor AccessPORT Update Coming

Blackfield · 01-28-2011, 09:21 PM

Finally...

As advertised, it took about 20 mins to install (download the ECU and flash it).

During the flashing, my car made a low humming sound. Is this normal?

Now, the fun part,

Btw I still have a couple suggestions:
Log both front widebands instead of just one.
Add fuel pressure as a logable parameter

Is there something that changed for the 6mt?

There are no big changes - yet - for the Stage1 OTS maps, just some additional behinds the scenes stuff and some small changes. Clap has been testing out some additional power tweaks for me, and it sounds like things are going well

Thanks to everyone for your interest and questions!

Best regards,
Lance

Yeah, my car made some digital quiffing noises too.

Put it this way. If u know how to shift....no tune on the market will shift better.

Quick update: There was no issue :-) Per Rob, the AP Manager does not show the maps if AP hasn't been installed yet. The maps were all there when I installed the AP. Big thanks to the Cobb team for excellent customer service.

The maps should be bundled in the firmware. Sent you a PM.

Thanks,

I've experienced a significant operation issue after updating the firmware and v2.0 maps on my car. I sent an E-mail to Rob and have to uninstall the AP tune in the meantime.

What happened?

Imperator · 01-29-2011, 06:50 PM

Incomplete coding DTC (p2fa3) and limited PE on the 93 octane map. I want to think it has to do with the consolidated maps and not just my car but wondering if anyone else has encountered issues with the new firmware.

I sent a couple small logs to Rob and he's already on it so I hope it's just isolated to my re-install.

Clap135 · 01-29-2011, 06:55 PM

limited PE? What does that stand for?

With mine the low pressure fuel pump ran almost the entire flashing session - a little weird but not really an issue.

Did you get the SES light afterwards?

Is that what that is? I wonder why it comes on. It runs for the entire backup / flash process.

I updated today with the 91 map, no problems. Although I never had a problem before.

Well, there's still some 'black magic' goin' on with the flashing, the SES light being one of those things, but in the end all the modules seem to eventually communicate with each other... and life is good

Having Robb around, as the big kahuna seems to work, also!

Irish rocks!

Power Enrichment, a term I guess I carried over from tuning LSx cars. It responds fine under light loads but under load values approaching 100, it stumbles and timing advance looks inconsistent.

I know Rob was looking into this last night but I just connected my AP this morning and noticed a new beta firmware release-- v1.6.3.2-1277. I'll wait for confirmation before re-installing.

You have mail.

v1277 was me adding two more supported ROMs, no other changes. I will have the release notes updated on Monday.

Cheers,
Rob

I noticed that under 50% throttle the car jerks quite a bit. Boost bounces wildly from 4-9lbs and the tach doesn't remain steady and climb as usual. I'm not 100% sure what is going on, but I also went into limp mode this morning when I started it up. Rpm danced wildly and then limp(no light though). I'm going to uninstall the ap and see if it persists. I wouldn't want to say it's the ap until I rule out it doesn't happen when stock. My thoughts is it's a hpfp with one foot in the grave.

UltraRacer13 · 01-30-2011, 11:13 AM

how long does it take to upload the new firmware??? to the AP that is from APM.

I got the same code on mine along with an additional one. Not sure if that is the limited PE code you got.
