Wildman chip problems
Hey everyone i am having problems and was hoping for help. I put on a Wildman chip along with a 4 inch exhaust and a afe stage 2 with pro guard 7 from Raul at Stealth automotive. Well the first month i was totally satisfied but then like over night it seems like its gotten sluggish and the between 35-40 miles per hour it will shift up and down continuously. According to the pyrometer im still getting good egt (600-1200) and the boost is about 25, but it just doesnt seem like its got the power it did a month ago. i thought about pulling the chip out and cleaning the posts to see if that helped, but wanted your guys opinions. oh one other symptom is that seems like the gas mileage is around 10 mpg. havent measured it though for official mpgs. thanks in advance....scott

switching in between gears is not a programming issue.... it would be odd for it to start working bad after its been running good.. im thinking its something else....

Sounds more like transmission problem. I bet if you do not tend to it soon, your O/D light will start flashing.

Mine seems to...... walk... Almost like the programing is fluid... Not just the shifts...... The throttle response is... well.... I added a 10k resistor... and that helped it feel better.... I dont know... The chip, last friday, defaulted to, I guess position 1... wouldnt go to any other tune... then, later, it was fine... just a bit gutless? I dont know, and I am not going to be quick to blame Tony... or his tunes... BUT... Chase

Pull the dipstick for the transmission and smell the fluid. I bet it smells burnt and has clutch particles in it. This is nothing the chip or programming could have prevented. It is just that the stock trans can not handle the extra hp.
