Make sure the PCM is fully plugged in and that nothing is loose. I have seen customers with somewhat similar problems and then they found the a plug not fully seated.

it may just need to do a learn cycle and it should run better. If not I would return to stock and see if it runs ok then. If it runs good on stock tune but not on customer tune i would talk to your tuner. If it runs rough on stock tune I would talk to diablo about the PCM possibly being bad.
I did it just like you said. runs good on stock tune. runs like **** on any of the caned tunes.It has been back to the dealer for a flash to stock. diablos idea. i dought any amount of relearn will fix the idle. i am going to see if they will take this junk back and i will get a edge pulsar.

Well, you did make a deal with El Diablo. Sometimes those deals don't work out. :D

That totally sucks.
My swap went good. Truck runs so much better and smoother than stock. I am trilled with the i3.
I’d have them send you another ecu and try again.

Did you ever consider HP instead,it's a far better tuning platform then Diablo's CMR platform.Diablo has had it's share of problems for years,while very few guys have issues with HP.

I think you can use a laptop if you've got one around the home.

Thanks. I got a hold of them and this hole thing is a mess. I will have to have HPtuners unlock the pcm again with there stuff. So looking at cost and reliability im better off buying a new stock pcm and have the dealer flash it and sell the i3 and pcm and try amd get a little money back. Lesson learned i will leave it stock from now on. If i ever do anything to again it will the pulsar so i can remove it with no damage to the truck. Diablo has been ok other than they wont give me my money back or swap me for a pulsar so i wont do any more business with them.

I had some troubles with my Diablo i2. They had me send it in to be serviced once, but I still had troubles with it. They then traded my old unit for a new one. When I got the new one I found they upgraded me to the i3 at no charge to me. Their hours customer service line seem limited to me, but the rep was helpful. I was very unimpressed with the canned tunes. Getting a custom tune is what makes the device useful. I will continue to use it with custom tunes. I do agree that the user interface leaves a lot to be desired and the device isn’t for everyone.

I here ya. they sent me to the dealer to have the unlocked pcm reflashed because it was wrong from them. the first tuner i3 went bad they sent me a new one and the tunes on it make the truck run like ****.and im not sure there is not still a problem with the pcm.all this just so i did not have to manualy select my gear to tune off mds. and to get a custom tune i will have to put out close to a 1000 again. like starting over. to go with HP. hemifever wont even touch it.

That’s too bad. Have you contacted Jay Greene about a tune? He has a good rep with custom tunes and other engine mods.
