Dinan Issues

540wagon · 12-05-2018, 10:28 AM

So I have a 15 CP with dinan Stage 2 on her. I got her with a Dinan stage 1 from the dealer and they CPOd the car. Which they are not supposed to do. I was driving to the track to watch a race and I got the DRIVE TRAIN MALFUNCTION warning, and she was running like shit. SHe would shut off at stop lights and I would have to restart her and lip her to a place to get her towed to a dealer. I pulled the tuning box off and she ran a little better. BUt know the dealer is saying that the wiring harness for the tune is messing up. Does this sound right to anyone? Everything I have read said that the coils are bad, I just had her in for the DTM warning and they said it wasn't bad. But it is now. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Could be anything. We would need DTC's (codes) to help point in a direction.

I will see what I can get from the dealer about the codes

What do you mean you took the tubing box off? Did you remove the harness too?

540wagon · 12-06-2018, 05:36 PM

no, I just disconnected the box form the harness, They are telling me that the Dinan harness went bad, I don't believe that shit

So looks like the Dealer who installed the Tune the first time put the tune wiring harness over the DPs and it melted the harness, so got a new harness and we are back in business

Wow. You can’t make that stuff up if you wanted to. Crazy.
