  4. TuneECU Guide (when ok to start engine)

    Help, the tuneECU user's guide says to start with key on - kill switch on - engine off. However, it does not state when it is safe to start the engine, when performing the DIAGNOSTIC and TEST functions. I know if you happen to start a car while DTC's are being read you can cause major problems.

    Engine Guards and Coolant Bottle Relocation

    Six months or so ago, I fitted a Weapon-R 24 oz coolant recovery bottle to the backside of the radiator and it fit great. Unfortunately, I just fitted Triumph engine dresser bars (crash bars) and the previous location for the coolant bottle is no longer available. My thoughts are to somehow...

    Engine stumbling

    Just had my 500 mile service and mentioned to the dealer that there was a fairly significant stumble, surge, and otherwise not smooth engine run in the low to mid 2,000 rpm range, most noticeable in first and second gear. Sometimes I hear what sounds as a internal clank like a chain noise. So...

I just got the word from the shop that they started the diagnosis and found many pieces of gears in the lower part of the engine. They say it may...
