Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

I would normally agree with this, but was compelled to reply that the startup hesitation is gone since someone else posted they still had a hesitation at startup with the new 2.0f. Let’s hope it stays that way!

 

Just flashed. 87 34-35” 5.29. No start up issues here. Will put some miles on tomorrow.

 

same here...will put some miles on it and see what it does tomorrow morning after sitting all night.

 

I installed the latest 04B04+2.0+Base+91+OL.p5f this morning and it still has a slight hiccup when cold starting. It's not as pronounced as it was in the prior 2.0 final/beta but it's definitely still there. I've only got about 60 miles on it and other than the minor cold start issue, it drives great!

 

You should have received instructions from OVtune in a zendesk ticket shortly after your original purchase

 

Does anyone get an error message when trying to read their ECU in flash manager? Only worked for me before I installed the tune. Now it says "completed unsucessfully wrong ecu" Thx

 

I’ve flashed my ECU probably 20 times and about half of them it stubbles on the first start.

 

I was going to say, I think that's normal after resetting AT/LV and flashing new tunes. Takes a second for the ECU to get the idle set.

 

Flashed this tune this morning, went out for a Sunday drive. For reference, mechanically stock 2017 TRD Sport 2WD with stock size tires. I have 96k miles and probably need a set of spark plugs. I'm just over 100 miles in and here are my impressions;

Home run @OVTune !!. First start had the hesitation, then no more of that. The first 8-10 miles were pretty rough, but I'll attribute that to resetting the LV's. I drove a combination of city, backroads, highways, and interstates. I was on 91 Octane gas on the 87 tune since my truck always seemed to run best on a higher octane than tuned for. About 40 miles in, it was fully settled in and the best the truck has ever driven. I bought the tune not for performance, but for better drivability. I hated the gear hunting and always had the bumpy road feeling at very light throttle and light loads, like 30-50 mph on flat ground. The truck shifts and holds gears now as you would expect any other non-processed vehicle to do and the stutter (bumpy road) is gone. I can finally stop checking this thread every 3 days now. I'm sure others will find something to nit pick, but that's what the new VF tuner is for. I will not be utilizing the VF tuner as the tip in and everything else feels really good to me and I am not one to fiddle around with things like that, but great option for those that that do. Thanks for all the effort Matt, it was totally worth it.

edit: for the drive, i got an MPG of 24.6.

 

No start up issue for me either. Ran smooth so far except for normal value reset weirdness

 

Awesome! Glad to see it getting close to finished. Any chance on these being available in pcm for us donglers?

 

91 31-33 tire 2.0

2017 TRD OR. RCI FULL SKIDS AND SLIDERS.


All I have to say is WOW. You knocked this one out of the park Matt.

 

You can avoid the weirdness of the learned value resets if you flash after your car is warmed up. Idle learning doesn't happen until coolant temp reaches at least 176*. If you start idling from a cold flash, it takes forever for the coolant to reach 176*. So waiting idle 5, 10, 15 mins after flashing when the car is cold does nothing until it reaches 176*.

Once I did the resets and ensuring coolant was over 176*, the weirdness of the resets went away.

 

I believe Mat said before there will be no pcm versions of 2.0 final since he switched everyone over to p5.

 

Pretty consistently hesitating on start. Not a new flash issue.

 

I've got 130 miles on mine now. But only one start. Usual learnslearn valuetvalue stuff.... I'll start cyclingicycling on and off now to see if mine does it

 

Hate to be this guy but....

Been a while since i flashed my truck so i'm going step by step to make sure I do it all right.

Unable to "identify" my ECU. Stays grayed out... Any tips?







EDIT: Thinking I need to update flash manager?

 

When? Not everyone has switched over to p5f, and I don't recall seeing that. But I do miss things in here.

 

He said a long while ago that all dongle users will have to switch to dongle-less. That’s the only reason I got rid of my dongle

 

He made the post a month or so ago, 2.0 final will only be made in P5F format. We all had to mail in dongles and register our computer like the newer dongle-less guys. Without doing so you can't get 2.0F
