[Flukey]

What time did you run last night fluke?

Its too embarrassing

[ENVY-T]

The wog has turned my self learning off. Makes it consistant.

My self learning is still on as it's a vital part of the programming to adjust for 'shift' in fuel pump, exhaust, cat, air filter performance etc.

I do however have my knock control turned off and the tune has a decent safety margin programmed into it. The reason for this is that timing kept being constantly removed from my tune resulting in big power losses. These changes were made early December and I've had no problems since.

I would be assuming that with knock control turned off that you would want to be taking it easier in humid and or hot weather? Have you had any detonation problems in these sort of conditions or under sh*t fuel?

After a few weeks of driving like miss daisy (peak hour traffic etc.) disconnecting the ecu plugs overnight definately makes a difference to the way my car runs afterwards

[RAP1D]

Yeah, I do the battery thing every few weeks or so. I change the plugs every 5000 or clean them if Ive been using booster and they look red...

I wouldnt be too keen on turning off the knock sensor... if you hear detonation it usually too late and the damage is already done... unfortunately its fairly easy to get dodgy, stale old fuel these days

No problems whatsoever.

Like I said, it has a good safety margin programmed into it.

I wouldn't race the car with the knock control off though.

Didn't a tuner get flamed for doing that not so long ago?

Interesting how things change!

[Adam]

Probably...

I was against it to in the beginning.

But once it was all explained to me I was happy do it.

If the tuner know's what they are doing then in my experience it can be done safely, even though it's at the cost of a bit of power, but that's fine by me.

Fair enough
