    My car doesn't have initial and minimum tables, just multipliers for each cylinder and transient and eq multipliers. You made it seem like there was a way to set them with the scanner, not in the editor.

    No secrets to hide. If your ecm has to relearn before it acts right, then something is not properly calibrated. Unfortunately im not going to type out a long how too on tuning, as that has been done many times over in this forum. My best advise is to pay attention to what is giving fits, and find out why. Asking vague questions but expecting direct answers isnt realistic.

    Post a tune file, then post logs showing it acting up, then a log after its running fine. And give us something that we can see and give you better advise on

    I have never had the issues you are describing. I have been tuning my car for about 2 months but very gradually. I did notice a starting problem so after flashing, I turn off, then turn on(not starting) turn off then start normally. Something doesn't work properly the first start so the extra works perfectly.

    If you have a GenV V8 (the section we are in), then you should have the mentioned tables. Click on Edit, View, and Advanced to make sure that you have HPT showing you their full variable set for the vehicle in question.

    I have never seen initial and minimum on a gen 5 like it exists on gen 4.

    Care to share a tune that has them?

    Phew, thought for a second my 2018 Camaro SS with a Gen V LT1 V8 that I've been tuning for awhile now wasn't a Gen V. That would've been embarrassing.... No need to be condescending and insult peoples intelligence buddy. I'd like to see a tune with those tables too.

    Thank you. Not that you need reinforcement for what you already know. This BS floating around the forums of zeroing or ignoring injector tip temp needs to be squashed. Dead on. If you want to tune best to know what things do and how to adjust them (if they are exposed by the tools).

    My car does the same thing. First drive after changing the tune I get some knock (only a few degrees though). After the first drive I get none at all. 2017 Camaro ss

    I made a similar post on here recently too... My 18 Camaro will read crazy ambient and IAT temps (think double or more) for 10-15 mins after a flash. Its extremely frustrating.
