Ever since a friend got his 02 Corvette back from a popular local Corvette shop after having a cam, AFR heads, and dyno tune done, he had overheating issues.
I used up 2 of my HPT credits to adjust his fans to what he wanted them set at just to see if we could get the temps down,....no help.
A week later we did a log and found that his LTFT's were running really lean on Bank 1 and Rich on Bank 2. They were like 5.8 B1 and -3.7 B2. I suggested he take the car back and have them fix it and retune....so he took it back.
I thought he may have had an air pocket, head gasket problem or poss. something blocking the coolant flow on bank #1???
The shop said they found nothing wrong with the car. They said they had the tuner back to take a look and the tune was spot on! My friend said that they told him my tuning software was bad! Well I say BS to that!
This week we installed a DeWitts rad. w/oil and trans cooler in his car to try to cool things down a bit. We left the battery disconnected for a while thinking this might help to reset the fuel trims.
After a hundred miles of driving yesterday and this morning I thought I would post up the log and tune for you experts to look at. Fuel trims are not as bad as they were but still off quite a bit.
Ignore the AFR as he has no Wideband/bung in his car.
Guys, I'm new to HPT and don't know enough about tuning so I'm asking for help in steering us in the right direction.
He is not very happy with that shop and doesn't want to take it back there ever again so I guess thats not an option. He's thinking of driving the car to a tuner in California but all of this is a whole other issue.
Personally I'm not sure that the car should be driven much until the fuel trims are safer looking. Could this be in the tune or a mechanical issue?
Any help with this would be much appreciated!
Thanks Guys, Bob
