Could be. I just wonder how to adjust for it. Appears to only happen when it's close to 35 outside.

See the solution to this thread. I think this could be your problem as well. GL

Any ball park? I thought a read some post years back on another forum or this one where the cost was like 2k. I'm still searching. And good point on the other post to include the tune. I didn't think about that..

ECU removal quesiton.....

I've done this once before and you would think I'd remember it but...... I forget the first wire section is plugged in and a little clip is on the side. My question is: Does the clip get squeezed in while the plug comes out or do you pry the side clip. It's a little vague but I do recall having an issue with the first plug of wires. I do know removing was from left to right (as you stand at the drivers side).....I just don't want to break a wire..... thanks guys.

Depress the tab while pulling on the connector. Found my original document to
remove..... sorry for the false alarm...

I finally got to hammer the car on one cold 24 degree morning and it went and
went fast- no more dash in the face!

I need to send mine in as it does the same thing. Tuning bug I guess, but glad to hear your reflash took care of it. What was your turnaround time? Did you do next day shipping?
