(Some) APR / (but mostly) BFI Nightmare!!

ksgarcia1

Ready to race!
I have had the car back for a few days now, everything is finally resolved. No CEL. The problem was a faulty installation; looks like BFI knocked a diode off the ECU.

5 months of hassle and I certainly don't have much to show for it. Lots of stress, lots of phone calls, and who knows how many gallons of gas I ate up driving back and forth to dealerships and BFI. Net loss for me.

BFI never did refund the installation fee I paid to have the car flashed....

Going to be well out of warranty before I consider tuning the car again.

OP, were the DTC's you had relevant or bogus?
I'm getting a similiar DTC:
001322 - Camshaft Adj. Bank 1 Intake
P052A - 000 - Cold-Start Timing not Reached
In my case the error seems to be warranted (cold start stalling). I'm wondering if this could be my ECU though. I'm tuned too, btw.
