08 viper red delivered AND BACK IN SHOP

[doctorbob]

Sorry for your problem.. I got my 2008 GTS blue/white convertible in March and got the reflash right away. I now have 6000 miles on my car and have had no difficulties, no tickets and have not gone over 150 mph.

The rest of the issues really are not the "plants" fault either. The variable cam has tight clearances and until fully broken in it can react "lazily" causing the PCM to see mis fire codes that are in fact not hurting anything but the PCM see it and reacts with the limp mode.

I will be leaving for the mountains in California for a wedding very shortly and will be out of contact till Monday morning if I don't get this soon enough.

Thanks,

Thanks Mark for the clarifiation... Last 8 is 8V201036. I didn't catch you in time so have a great trip and again, thanks for all you do!

yesterday my viper was in an dodge garage in zurich, they told me that they can check for an software update but they told me that my viper has already the newest one (Version 05029932AF), they did a calibration of the throttle body and made a test drive (30 mls) after i picked up the car the ETC error lighted up after 1 mls and i brought it back. on monday they will check what it could be again.

has anyone an idea what it could be?

mark can you please check for my car too? i send the vin over PM

thanks!

Easy solution for this one: Don't build them at all. I firmly believe do it right or don't do it at all. No company should expect their customers to finish their product development.

So... Hondas and Toyotas and BMW's NEVER have recalls?
