Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Had that too. It’s not completely downloading the tune files. I had to delete the half-baked .bin files, empty recycle bin, restart the software, move closer to my router (I.e. get out of truck and head inside) and redownload. That worked.

 

Cold start this morning. Started up, let it sit for 5 sec and put it in reverse. Creeping out with my foot on the brake allowing me to reverse out and while backing up it surged once and it was mild, but it still did it. No surging the rest of my drive. Going to see if i can capture it leaving work.

 

Lol ive slowly watched “10mins” turn into 15 and now 20mins. Originally if you go back many many pages ovtune said to let the truck idle for 10minutes. But i dont suppose longer would hurt anything

 

Nope, just wasting fuel and time you could be out enjoying the new tune!

 

I let mine sit for 45 mins and it started whistling. Looked under the hood to see what was going on (maybe a fuel pump?) and it was twin turbos.

So yes: longer idle after flashing is better.

 

Is this surge everyone is talking about happen when you turn your steering wheel even slightly? If so, it’s normal with these trucks and not tune related. It’s definitely more noticeable in tight areas like a garage or driveway. Just a thought if this is what they are feeling.

 

I can take care of that whistling problem for yah. Let me just borrow the truck.

 

no

 

I experienced something like this for the first time today on 1.04 87. I took foot off brake and my truck jumped forward a foot

 

Well I think I got her all fingered out. Patiently waiting on that email from @OVTune

 

Someone needs to record this surge.

 

No one has it but that one guy lol

 

I have it with stock tune from day one. Only until its warmed up a bit.

 

Were talking about 1.04 tune though. No one has the surge except 1 person.

 

Because it is important and 10 minutes is what was prescribed by the guy who created the tune. Just listen to the truck after you flash during idle. You can literally hear it learning

 

It's like chinese whispers in here

 

I've experienced it once on the 1.04 tune

 

Sucks for the folks who have it, never had surging stock, i did have it on 1.03 though. 1.04 has been great no surging at all

 

Yea, it was a problem with 1.03, but besides that one time it happened on 1.04 it hasn't happened at all since.
