    As did I - when my CPS/CKP issue surfaced (as was the case for many) it hit when it got warm and between the extra heat and the compressor it causes it to become more pronounced. Allegedly the CKP issue was because there was too much corrosion resistant coating which caused the sensor to become too close to the crankshaft rotor and thus created static buildup on the sensors that slowly degraded to some experiencing an all-out stall. My truck's issues surfaced the first hot weekend we had last year and got worse from there. Sensor did the trick though

    I don't know but I can tell you that I ran the 91 tune for over 1200 miles before trying out the 87 tune. And the 87 tune is great, mind you - it's an incredible improvement over stock but I did love that 91 power and will probably be going back after awhile. On the 91 tune I could tell a measurable improvement and smoothness continue to refine itself at about 300 and again at 700 miles and then it seemed to level out. I know ignition and fuel trims don't take that long to set in but it did seem it continued to learn subtly (in a good way) it just didn't relearn how to shift like crap.... which was a huge win for Mat and OVTune customers

    @OVTune Give us a post in here when flash manger is ready to be downloaded. Will this new update replace 1.03 or be a separate file name?

    Hey so is it not “normal” for the truck to shake/vibrate with the ac on? I notice the shaking everytime it raises the revs for the ac compressor. If thats the case maybe i need a new CPS!

    I can feel it rev for sure - pretty significantly when it kicks in but my truck doesn't shake or do anything else out of the ordinary but your results may vary. IF that's the ONLY time it shakes probably not a big deal - mine did it all the time when stopped at a light, it was just much more pronounced when the A/C comes on. So what I perceive as no shaking (in contrast to my pre CKP replacement days) you may perceive as shaking - who knows. much of this is relative to your experience when talking in loose terms like "shaking, stuttering, hesitation, bogging, etc.,")

    Also keep in mind that the AC consumes on average about 15% of vehicle horsepower when on, defroster too.

    I can hypermile if I want, but yeah I tend not to drive like a pissed off 16yo unless I mean it.

    I easily get 2-3mpg better than the wife does in her MDX when I drive it around town. Just a difference in style. Coasting. Anticipating. She just romps from light to light, which is fun in that car especially in IDS on Sport and sequential mode.

    If your ECU is listed in flash manager, you are good to go.

    Then he has not gotten to it yet. DO NOT FLASH an ECU that is not listed in flash manager.

    You have to download your ECU data and send it to him
