Type R Untuning itself?

[Jester04]

Pops and bangs need to be within certain conditions to work properly, like exhaust temperature, engine temperature, and also no codes.

Yeah I explained that to him, looked over the logs it looks good. Today he is going to check some stuff.

@Jester04 go ahead and drop your Venmo or Cashapp in your signature.

Going to have to do that. But really I’m here for you guys. I do this because I actually I’m passionate about it and I love helping people.

Added it! Next up coming feet finder and only fans. Have to pay for my student loans somehow.

Also I’m fairly certain that OP’s related issue is to an engine code. We will figure it out later today.

It has rejected the fake pops and bangs. I recommend installing fake airvents from Autozone on the fenders, this way the car will be convinced of it's new lifestyle.

But it has to be the chrome ones! I won’t take any less.

Is it really being "untuned" or is it just reverting to some sort of safe mode once it sets the code? Try clearing the check engine light instead of reflashing and see if the problem goes away. Then when it comes back check for a pending code that hasn't turned the CEL on yet. Then you'll have to get with @Jester04 on how to make the computer quit seeing issues with rear 02 sensor.

Its the code causing issues. But I like being systematic about my approach so we first ruled out the calibration. Now we are moving to hardware issues.

Flashpro unit got infected with the EPA Safe the Environment Worm.

Any tuning gets rolled back to keep emissions low.

Pretty sure is that.

Yes I got the same problem with my FL5 yesterday after driving at highway but without engine check light (I blocked the DTC0420 code), then I reflash the hondata to got the pops back. If you could find where the problem is pls let me know, Thankyou!

The pops vary by engine temps, if you want you can dm me with your issue and I can try to help you out.

Thanks Jester, I'll try to log some data next time when the problem happens.

Sounds good!

Sounds good!

It happens again today, I did some datalog and the A/F & fuel trim data was normal. But I found an other trouble code P0139 (O2 sensor circuit slow response) without an engine check light on dash board. After clearing the code on Hondata App everything got back to normal. BTW I got RV6 catted downpipe on car, I think it might cause the problem.

That is the problem! A custom tune would do wonders for you.
