Good stuff. Numbers from diff dynos cant be compared. The fact that you love how smooth the Haltech is alone makes your driving experience that much better. Times will improve as a result of it. Thanks for posting.

Oh ya, another few issues gone, the throtle input durning a warm/hot start is no needed any longer, or I wouuld have to feather the throtle at stop lights sometimes to keep the rpms from droping to a stall. These two items appear to be gone under Haltech managment.

Nice to read about other people enjoying their Haltech Platinums...

Tremendous piece of equipment!

Did the Haltech get rid of the Service Engine Light (P1444) that us UTEC users at altitude have? Did it throw any other codes?

(thinking of going with the Haltech to get rid of the UTECS jerkiness)

The Haltech has not produced any CEL's in my car. I need to get more miles to know for sure tho.

DTC P1444 EVAP CANISTER PURGE VOLUME CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE
Is this something specific to the high altitude, or did you just unplug/remove your EVAP solenoid on the back of the intake manifold? If that is the case, Haltech will not do anything about that.

The 'jerkiness' on the other hand, it absolutely will take care of. From a driving standpoint, the car can be tuned to run like stock.

It's specific to VQ35's running UTEC's at high altitude (above 4k feet or so) All of us here in Colorado with UTEC's get it, N/A or FI

Awesome. Does it completely replace the stock ECU, or does it leave that there, and does it interfere with any other functions of the ECU (I realie these questions have been answered somewhere, and I am currently searching for the answers, but I can't yet find them)

This is the one code I never saw!? I would get a 1283, which I think was bank1 trim lean code?

I see - does your car throw it stock? I don't understand why the UTEC would have any effect on the evap system, but I'm not a mile high either

The stock ECU remains in the car with all of the ecu's on the market now. It has to be there to drive things such as the gauges, dbw throttle body, etc. With it still in the car these can be tested for obd2 compliance as well.

Almost every single VQ35 at altitude that has a UTEC, regardless of other mods, throws the P1444. Remove the UTEC and the P1444 goes away. TurboXS has been particulary helpful in resolving this problem

Cool, thanks for the info!
