Something to remember, once your car is tuned, the dashhawk will read only what the standback is telling the ecu, not what the car is actually doing. You do need an external wideband o2 gauge for accurate readings with the standback.. +1 with the boost gauge.

Good to know maybe I will keep my wide band after all.
[font=Arial Black][size=100]Roadrnr06 was my leased 2006 Speed 6 which was purchased on 06-06-06. I have many fond memories of that car, and will be keeping my original profile as a memory of the great car that I once had.

My new user name is Roadrnr09 and showcases my new 09 Subaru WRX which I am very happy to have purchased as a replacement vehicle : )

Ok, my car will not start. Reset the ECU a few times, put in the CP-E bypass plug as well. TCS/DCS (traction control) light stays illuminated, as well as the 4WD light. According to the manual, this is bad. Any ideas? I'm about to call Burt.

Update:

Car is running. Completely removed PnP harness, car started right up. I'm about to go put it back in and see how that goes. Perhaps the Standback is messing with the keyless entry system...I've been seeing intermittent problems using keyless entry in the past month. Trunk button wasn't working for a while, then started working. Driver's side button stopped working for a while, then came back. Car wouldn't start sometimes, even with a key in the ignition. I'll give CP-E a yell on this and see what they have to say.

Check keyless entry fuses.....I had 7 fuses go out involving the remote start and keyless entry....that might help....

Tried the Standback again....still no go. Verified Standback is functional with laptop, all parameters check out as well. Again, TCS/DCS and 4WD warning lights came back on when attempting to start the engine. I'll be calling CP-E tomorrow.

Almost certain the issue is with the PnP harness. I've come to this conclusion because:
a ) The car behaves the same whether the bypass plug is installed or not.
b ) The car completely mimics symptoms of the Standback w/PnP installed WHEN attempting to start the car without the ECU wiring harness connected to the factory ECU (stupid mistakes can lead to great insight :D )
c ) The car runs fine without the Standback and PnP in place.

The only thing that sucks is I can't test my theory without a spare PnP harness. I'll have to wait until I send it in to CP-E and they test it themselves. Car feels friggin slow now :(
