2016 OVTune Tacoma 3.5L Manual Transmission / Engine ECU Reflash

You're in for a big surprise! You're gonna love it..

 

I’m on 91 on mine, will probably swap to 87 here soon now that fuel prices are going up.

 

I have been running 91 e free since the first tank from the dealer fill up ran out. You cant find e free 87 around here and I am not a fan of corn gas,convince me that I am being silly....

 

Awesome to hear I bought in on the 8th, and can’t wait to install!! No shipping confirmation as of yet but I will be patiently waiting. I will be able to give constant load feedback, due to hauling a FWCamper full time and running 285/75 16 on a manual transmission w TRD CAI

Edit:I see will be shipped May 15th!!!
Yes !! Thx Matt

I run e free as often as I can. My truck seems to run better off it

 

Ok I've been running the 104 87 octane on my '18 and I've noticed something. Could members try the following test and report the results. Start off in first gear and clutch out and crawl the truck allong just above 1,000 rpm. Floor the accelerator from the 1,000 rpm and take it up to just below recline. Do the exact same thing in second gear. Let me know if you notice anything. I won't disclose my issue until I hear from others.

 

It’s fast?

 

Your being silly
What is your concerned about e gas other than losing some power.

In Canada ,SHELL is only company with e free gas in 94oc only .

E gas is only a concern in small non EFI engines.

 

Seriously, go try it.

 

I don’t redline for fun.
So give me an idea what I am looking for.

Did you you notice this guy is doing a 2gear pull. LOL

 

You don't have to go to redline. Take it to 5K if you want. This is a blind test and I want to see if others noticed what I have. I don't want to taint the outcome. Noticeable in first and less in second gear.

 

I haven’t noticed anything in all the times I’ve done it. And I did it a bunch right after flashing.

 

I haven't tried this test yet, but I'm going to venture a guess based on past experience: In second gear there is almost zero power until about 2500-3000 RPM?

When I'm moving a bit too fast to slam it into first, so I leave it in second and floor it, but there's very little power until the RPMs approach 3000. Weird thing is, it's doesn't happen all of the time. I think I have to be below a certain RPM for it to show up.

I've gotten myself in some dangerous situations because of that, but it has happened on every version of the tune, and probaby when I was stock, but I can't remember.

 

I noticed that this truck is very sensitive to ambient temperature and humidity. Even stock there were some days it felt like it was only running on 4 cylinders.

 

Not what I'm experiencing. Give it a try and let me know. I want to see if this is a tune issue. I'm not going to complain, it may not be tune related.

 

Nothing wrong about giving a theory of what you think may be an issue.
Trust me ,give it another week or 1000k and many will do the same.
It is just indaviguals getting to know there trucks.

 

I’m running 91. Will give it a shot later.

 

Describing the symptom I'm having could lead someone into "noticing" it as well. I want to make sure others will notice the same thing before I bring it up as an issue. It would be very easy to not notice it because most are not going to accelerate hard from first gear. In second gear its there as well but not as noticeable. If no one notices any symptoms then Ill chalk it up to a bad flash. I've got about 300 miles on the tune so it should be sorted out.

 

if you're having issues or experiencing something I'd think I should be the first to be notified
