vF Tuner for the 3.5L Tacoma

Do you have anything better to do?

 

Couldn’t connect to truck to even read a CEL

 

Yes, but no. It’s raining so I can’t mountain bike, ski season ended in April, and my kids are behaving. I just Doordashed dinner so I got 35 min to kill.

 

Bench flashed another ECU and installed. No start. Cannot connect or read vin through OBD. Dead in water

 

battery voltage nominal?

 

As Mat already said.... Check fuses.

 

P..sy!!!
We MTB in the rain 365 here...

 

You think this was from the flash utility?

keep trolling, seriously. Keep trolling.

 

Your soil, loam as they call it, likes moisture. Ours, not so much.

 

Reset the immobilizer by jumping pin 3 & 14 for 30min

not sure how that ended up happening

Flashed tune again and runs fine

 

The second ECU popped the immobilizer somehow. Definitely not tune related most likely something loose in my truck

 

You've gone beyond trolling to posting deceptive messages here about the product we offer.
You've outright talked trash about our products in drunken rants.

You're a liability to the product. If it continues, we will have to escalate things.

You knew nothing about the situation before immediately blaming the flasher and claiming for people to pay me for the problems to go away.


Seriously, keep trolling!

 

You swapped ecus

the immobilizer is paired to the ecu

it’s doing what it’s supposed to lol

 

I’m always quiet nowadays. This stuff gets so old with all the negativity. Old software and new software talk is pointless and he’s moving onto something better whether we see it that way or not. But this constant bashing of him is getting bad enough it makes me want to speak up.

Some things(mainly some people) are just getting old having to read through them just to get to valid information. Take it to private messages or his zendesk if you have an issue with him or the software.

Here’s something to think about.... you may NEED his help one day because you’re in a bind. I have and he was Johnny on the spot within minutes EVERY time. I guarantee if you ever truly need this man for something truly serious, you’ll regret bashing him. Try treating him with respect as he’s a man just as you and I are. May not get the response you’re hoping for but he’ll respect you and respond politely.

Most people are constantly being negative, rude, hateful, whatever. Take this man away as you’ve never met him but know how things could be and think before speaking.

Sure hope one day he can leave this site and handle everything on his own forum where he has control of these comments so people can spend more time reading useful information.

 

Try flashing it, and letting it sit at idle for 15 -20 mins, see if it trips the immo again? I haven't played with swapping ECUs around, this is a new one

 

I have 5 ECUs at the house. All set to my truck. I can unplug one and plug the other with an immobilizer since they’re already set.

The one I just reset is the one that died on me while driving. Plugged in another just now, started right up with no reset needed

 

Well lets take a look here.
On one hand, you ask me for assistance with your truck / FI tuning / magnuson.
You ask for assistance / tuning guides / information on how to FI tune.

Then on the other hand, you slap me in the face.


what the hell do you expect. Are your posts just lashing out because you aren't getting what you want or what?

 

One other thing.... nobody knows what caused this. Let them two work it out publicly and we can all possibly gain useful information to learn from in case we venture down that road one day. I guarantee if you’ll stay positive and supportive these two will work the problem together and get it figured out.

 

Will do. Odds are it’s my truck has something weird going on with wiring. Not the first time my OBD wouldn’t read for some random reason.

 

If you don't mind, please report back via zendesk. I'd like to keep the information flow without distraction. you also have my #
