Tried giving Matt a call but no answer yet. Sent an email off with the coles notes of what happened. Hopefully get a hold of him at some point today.

 

hes pretty good at responding. sometimes when hes out on a trip he takes a couple days to get back to you. i hope to god this ecu didnt damage anything in yours or my motor

 

He says it's unrelated. Likely a damaged voltage protection diode.

How/Why still TBD. Maybe just a bad unit

 

Quick update: The issue with the ECU had nothing to do with the firmware update. RCA has not been determined but it's likely a component failure on the board. Possibly a faulty solder joint or something.

Have to give to Matt @ Haltech though. The customer service is fantastic and they have already sent me a new ECU replacement.

 

Glad to hear they took care of you and the problem is solved

 

Huge motha F'n to Haltech

 

matt is an awesome guy. really nice and genuine. knows his shit

on a second note, anyone retune for summer weather? my car all summer runs so much slower. i can tell its retarding ignition at least 5-8 degrees. matt says thats normal but damn, i cant wait for cooler weather (aka january here in florida) smh

 

Anyone still got issues with idling and RPM dropping or has everything resolved?

 

I still see my tach drop every now and then, specifically when my fans kick on. Still haven't replaced my alternator though, I think that's my problem. I haven't had any other issues though.

 

Always had this, until I had Matt tune it out for the most part

same thing when my fans come on, dips down from 900-700rpm then right back up to normal. this is something that can be tuned out but takes a ton of time.
