To me it sounds as if the harness was not properly fully seated, it may "feel" like it, but it may not be fully engaged.Try to reinstall it and see if that makes a difference. I had this issue on one unit,and it worked fine after fully seating the connectors..If they do not fully seat, a bunch of weid stuff happens..If this does not work, send the unit back to us and Ill send you another one to try..

Me and Jermaine went through some troubleshooting procedures today and no luck.

I will ship out the unit out today to receive another one. Wish me luck.

Thanks Julian. Jermaine offered to go ahead and exchange me a unit. I have disconnected and reconnected about 6 times and have fully and carefully clipped them on right.

Quick question. Which 12v did you guys tap for the Tuner, or did you run one from the battery with a switch?
Who's garage? You gotta week, then its mine!

None to speak of. However, the function that will not operate, is the rev limiter adjustment, as the factory ECU has a soft rev limiter on the rev up motors.

Well, I imagine with any electronic device, there is proably a 1-2% defect rate. We've sold about 100 EU's have had 2 defective units out of the box.

We've sold about 14 Units, and installed 7, and no defects yet. Now leave me alone..so I can find some wood to knock on.
