I don't know for sure, but I compared your file to some others and I think I would try enabling OP Enrichment Required (ECM 44422) and lowering Cat Protection Max Enrichment (ECM 44549) to .7. Neither SHOULD affect it but it SHOULD be working and isn't, so who knows.
Also, your knock advance doesn't seem to be working so that might need to be looked into as well. I know if it senses that the IMRC isn't functioning correctly, it won't allow knock advance. I don't know what other underlying faults could cause it to not enter PE mode.
Thanks for your reply Lightning, I have looked closely at the post you cited and continue to study it. I've all but searched through lots and lots of posts. I only post my tune and ask as a last resort.
And I appreciate anyone taking the time to help. Thank you!
