Re: Swap Startup: Stumbling
Well that didn't go as planned. I got a base tune by BP Automotive who forgot to turn the fans on and their Customer Service sucks so I have 0 faith in that.
I had a tuner come over today and he messed with the truck for about an hour. He says the TPS is reading correctly but the ECU cuts out after about 30 seconds and he can't get a reading on HPTuners after that. He says that it could be a bad ECU (wouldn't BP Automotive know this when they loaded the base tune?), an issue within the BP Automotive harness, or a mechanical issue which he doubts as it runs good with the TPS unhooked. He did this at no cost.
He says he will bring a known good computer and test everything for $100 assuming his ECU works. He also said for a tune he needs to buy credits which are $200 (I know they are but I assumed he would have an unlimited pass and not charge the full $200). Then of course the tuning fee once the issue is resolved. Now, there are tuning shops around but I don't know how much this would cost there but he said it could be a rabbithole of expense depending on what is wrong. Advice please? Is the recommendations or cost out of line?
