car got half engine light and sputtered home! Have JB3 2.0, possible corrupted chip?
About a mile from home, I got a half engine light and the car just died. I started it back up and got it to limp home. I have the latest JB3 2.0 and running map 5. Everything has been fine for about 2 weeks now on this tune, and then this today. I reburned the chip when I got home and connected it with the latest interface and everything is fine again. Any idea why I got the half engine light? Thanks.

I have the gen 3 board and no problem starting the car, so don't think it's a fuel pump issue, but not 100% sure on this. All connections are tight as well, but it's running just fine now. Hopefully this doesn't happen again to far from home!

It's funny that people post asking for help in public forums. Basically you just pasted a target on yourself asking for people who dislike your mods to come ridicule you for it.
The software that runs microcontrollers will not corrupt itself so unless this just happened while you were installing or updating that explanation makes no sense. Maybe you jiggled around the wires to update it and one is making bad contact or more likely something else is up. Like the others said this is why its nice to have a diagnostic tool handy even if your not modified. |
