Mine has lost it as well.... it has only happened the one time, but it has happened.I wonder how many more this has happened to ?Yep mine to Dave, I find it happends in the mornings more often. If I start the car and put it into drive straight away it does what you have said and engine light goes on. But if I let it warm up a little say 2 mins its never happened. WTF Car is booked into HPF on Monday AGAIN!!!Rob...Mmmmm, that's a concern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like having the same problem with utes putting big stall converters and going to limp mode due to traction control? Rob... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its because the edit runs on Windows based software. We all know how reliable windows is. Just shut it down and re boot is the best answer any tech can give????

If it returned to the factory map... where did it get it from? I wonder if there is a memory in the PCM which stores a "fail-safe" tune for times when the engine is under too much stress (or a sensor fails...)Any ideas?
