I posted a while back that said my car would randomly run like crap and I could hear a clicking coming from the xede from behind the glove box. I could never get to the xede when it was doing it until today. It blinks red, orange and green. It also makes a relay on the passenger side firewall click on and off and I'm pretty sure it's dumping in fuel on every click. If I have just the key on it still does it and it's damn near flooded in a few seconds and hard to start. When I'm driving it likes to backfire and is a pain to drive.

Today to get it home I had to disconnect the xede and the sad thing was it ran better without it. Granted I stayed out of boost b/c it can't be good with all the mods to drive untuned. But my idle was way better, with the xede if i would clutch in and out real fast like in bumper to bumper traffic it would stall and hard as hell to get restarted and I already tried the idle screw.

Lastly it was installed and tuned by shiv so my human error is not the cause. He installed it and tuned it at a local dyno day so I've never messed with it. Any idea. I call vishnu today and they told me to talk to Justin tomorrow after 10am but I figured I'd try this too.

 

overtemp protection glitch infested Xede, send it in for fix.

 

Jorge is right. Shiv and I are down in socal doing magazine testing this week, but send it in next week and I will get it taken care of for you.

 

Is this "overtemp protection glitch" something that would affect the car when it's like 10 degrees out or colder. Seems like now that it's colder than sh** out my car runs poor. Idle is poor, very hard to start (in fact when it dropped below -10 I couldn't get it started and had to leave it in a parking lot till the next morning when it warmed up a bit), feels like the car has lost all power. Even after the car warms up it still idles really rough.

 

Over temp glitch symptom is if Xede blinks(cycles) red, orange, green and makes the engine cut out. If it does not do this then it is something else.
