Hey guys,

I just recieved my flash2 with all its programs. Just reading the instructions and it is saying to pull out the fuses for the fuel pump and electric fan. Am I supose to do this and y? Also I sore that people are saying to regap the spark plugs, do I need to do this or is it in the programs allready logged.

Also if there is anything else I need to do before I plug this in??? Any steps the instructions don't say??

Thanks guys.

Re-gap your plugs to 0.8, this is a definate, I haven't got any experience with the Flash2 - maybe you should get in touch with whoever is doing your custom tune. Its always risky to run a generic tune on your car, especially without a dyno run to check Air Fuel ratios.

I would suggest taking the car to one of your local tuners that has experience with the Flash2 and they can sort out a custom tune while you are there

im thinking the car wont be very fast without the fuel pump fuse!!

Yer that's what I am thinking. I really dont understand that. Think I might just wait, I sort of dont have any real helpful hints to get this thing working. Might just wait until this sat and go down and have a chat with some people at Elite at the dyno day.

ok,

they say to remove the fuses because it may take a long time to adjust the settings, in some cars the fuel pump runs with the key on and the fan running.

our cars have relays and other computer controls so this removal of fuses is NOT NEEDED.

I have used mine without removing the fuses and have spent 10 minutes with the reds on adjusting the settings and have had no problems.

just plug it in (reds off) and follow the on screen prompts and you will be sweet.

as senna said gap your plugs put in some 98 or 100 octane fuel and enjoy.

if you are using generic tunes please take your car to a local dyno/ tune shop for a power run to check your air fuel ratios and have them listn for or better use a knock sensor to check for ping/rattle.

if you cant I suggest removing 5 degrees of global spark for additional safety.

ok.

I finally attempted to put in the tuner today and not good.

I loaded the 8psi and removed the 5 degrees of global spark and could not find were to change the gap to .8???

So I continued on anyway just to see how it all went. loaded then started the car. It started but when I looked at the dash there was a D flashing. Did the guy load me the wrong program for a auto instead of a manual? but I tried moving and the revs went up and down to about 1500 then down and up and down but no power at all really to get it moving.

Whats going on?? Plug and play my ass

Dam cars, I am heading towards leaving it for 3 months and getting front mount and high flow cat then a tune and get them to run me through it.

Gaping the plugs means you have to remove the spark plugs from the head and physically change the gap between the cathode and anode.

ok. Stuff that.

I am waiting.
