    With a little less than a 100 miles on my car while coming home from work Monday night since getting my latest mods installed (ported OEM TB and lightened crank pulley) I had a flashing CEL come on while messing around with a WRX. It flashed for about 10-15 seconds and went away. I never really got into it with the WRX and when I got off of the freeway I found a straight away and stood on the gas and had NO issues.

    Then yesterday while going to work, about 10 minutes into my trip, driving normal, the CEL came back but it wasn't flashing, it stayed solid. The road was wet so I wasn't really able to "get on it" but the perf seemed fine to me when I got on the gas as good as I could. After work, the night supervisor plugged in our Snap-On scan tool in and it came up as P0300B (multiple misfire) and we cleared it out.

    I plan on driving the car "normal" for a while to give the computer time to maybe learn the new parts. Any thoughts by you guys/gals in the know?

    This is the problem with "tuning". Reliability and drivability is decreased. A multiple misfire code can mean almost anything. That being said, I have seen computers "learn new parts" or CELS disappear permanently without any fix - albeit not common.

    GoodLuck with this issue. My guess is you may need it.

    I'll be leaving work in about 30 mins, we'll see how it goes, 26 miles since the clearing of the code for misfire.

    3 wife set up, sounds interesting . Yeah, give the ECU a chance to adapt to the new parts. Might be worth check the Fiat forums to see if anyone else has had issues with the tuner.

    Glad the computer works better than talk to txt😝 I'm in fact on a Fiat forum and opinions are all over the place so I'm just going to see what happens.

    I get my new shoes tomorrow, pics to follow👍

    I ordered the OBDII reader that works off of my phone but in the meantime we used my buddy Hectours. We datalog'd what my car was doing and everything is within spec. 16 psi of boost, 11.37 AFR one time and 88% throttle opening, which I thought would be 100% @ WOT, learn something new everyday.

    I also got my new shoes, went up from a 205-40 to a 215-40 and had to actally trim the d/s rear wheelwell because it rubbed, LOL. I guess the car has tight tolerances. The tires have square sholders, looks awesome and pics coming tomorrow when I clean the car, it's a disaster. They also put Discount Tire tire juice on when I said not to, so it needs to be cleaned off!
