Exclamation RRM Piggyback problems?

I just had zlancer install my header and piggyback and the car started up fine and ran fine...when i got home it started right back up...i tried to start it up again later on and it took forever to fire it up...I know z lancer man said he had the same problem (I bought the piggy from him) but he siad Road Race checked it twice and said it was fine...so I was just wondering if anybody esle with the pb has any problems starting the car...

Ok I had this EXACT same problem.
seems the piggyback I had was programmed wrong, for a different car!!
what happened, in my case the car would start fine if it was cold, when it was warm
I NEEDED to give it gas in order for it to start..

RRM sent me a new piggyback with the new flash, works 100% now..

and yes, I had checked and re-checked and reinstall the piggyback like 3 times by
different mechanics to verify it was soldered properly, etc.

good luck,
B

yeah, they have a newer tune for it as of about a month ago, i think. give them a call and theyll have you send it in for a re-tune. youll only have to pay for shipping.
