    Did you start by using a newer datafile? I know that the 98 I was in recently was a mess compared to my 2000, stock-for-stock. Also toss a 2005 timing table in there, as it is a lot better.

    We strated with a DHP 1.0 file and modified from there.

    It has been one thing after another with my car.
    I'm almost thinking of buying an intense pcm, and go from there.

    Personally, I tried using a DHP starter file to start to tune from. But I was having trouble as well. Then I went back to a stock file, and tuned from there. Things were much easier to tune when I was starting with a stock file.

    Try it.

    +1. Definitely start from stock and build upwards. I grabbed the 2005 timing table off of HPTuners site; I can probably forward it to you at some point this evening if need be.

    How bout an intense pcm, and go from there?
    I hate to have the guy tuning me, start from scratch with the tune.
    He has a hard time pulling away from his daily shores to tune me.
