Default ECU and 4 smoked plugs

Had my ECU flashed in Dallas last Thursday.
Attached are the Dynos showing A/F ratios.
4 smoked plugs later and it's back to the newest stock flash from the dealer.
Anyone see anything that pops off the page at you around 2275 RPMs?!?

Ummmmm yeah..... Looks like your ECU reprogrammer needs to go back to the drawing board.

I'm pretty sure Fisherspeed in Dallas did it. They've been trying to get it out lately.

AFAIK there are only two shops doing flashes, one on the west coast and one in Dallas.
You guys can figure it out. This post wasn't to slam the person that did it. It was more of a "be wary of who you let flash your car" and make sure they know what they're doing

Timings (*added in at certain points, then took some out*)
A/F (*not sure if there is more than one map for this or not, but if there are, then both were obviously manipulated*)
Throttle Body
Rev Limiter
Top Speed governor

It is from the RPM pickup not maintaining a clear signal throughout the run.

Regards,

So you went back to the Stock Flash? What went wrong? PM or Email me with all the Info if you do not want to post it here.Did you have your Dealer do the stock reflash or did you do it down here?

Default KJY9 ?

Chazzg asked a good question! Can a Nissan Dealer put our ECU's back to "stock condition"! I have a similiar spike in A/F at about the same rpm range as above. If you take out the "smoothing" on your dyno run sheet it will look even scarier!

Also did you check your plugs b4 the tune? Looks okay to me. You have alot of exhuast mods, so you could have been running rich the whole time. With the tune he could have fixed your problem.

Wow... That sucks Kevin, sorry to hear about your mis-hap...

What are they doing to compensate you for all this?

They paying to get it flashed back to stock, labor, and plugs I'd hope??? Zero excuse for letting it lean out that badly down low.
