    NLTS & CEL on knock problem

    So I finally got around to installing my PNP flash ECU with Chrome V2, and I have 2 problems.

    When no lift to shift is enabled there is an RPM limit of 6500. I don't see a setting set to 6500 rpm. The rpm limit that I do see is set to the stock rpm of 7200.

    Also, when the CEL on knock feature is enabled, I get random fault codes being thrown.

    Launch control and fuel pump on clutch both work great.

    Any thoughts?

    Yeah that's set to 5000. So when NLTS is supposed to be activating, it rev limits 5000rpm. The 6500rpm limit its giving me is at all times.

    No clue about your rev limit issue... Did you raise fuel cut? You gotta do that on a not stock car.

    Your not getting erroneous CELs. Evoscan is broken. It can't read DTCs properly for some reason. Hammish can't be bothered to fix it. Turn off knock on CEL and you'll get the same random codes.

    I'm on stock injectors running 12-13psi on 19T's, and with NLTS off, I get to 7200 rpm no problem. I'll look into what the fuel cut is set at though.

    As far as the CEL, I'm getting a constant CEL on the dash with 'CEL on knock' enabled. I didn't verify with a scan tool that Evoscan was correct in telling me what the codes were, but with 'CEL on knock' disabled, I get no CEL on the dash.

    Is it just me?

    Will do when I get home tonight.

    Also I did get a CEL this morning in the dash with NLTS and knock CEL disabled. Launch control didn't work. Restarted the car and it was gone, and launch control worked again. Very random it seems.

    Every time someone tells me their launch control didn't work, its always been because they didn't push the pedal far enough.
