SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY! radix.
#24
i installed the radix today, put in allen tune tune and did not get a fire up.
the motor was turning over, but no spark we think was being produced, but we didnt mess with that at all during install.... we took out the FPR and we had fuel pressure. i talked to brian and he thinks it has something to do with VATS...
the truck is running WAy rich, we had to throw the original PCM back in... so now it wont hold idle on start up and the SES is on.
got a PM from allen saying how to do pass key on the new PCM, but my security light isnt coming on, so i'm am unable to do pass key right now. i think i'll have to throw in the old PCM and wait for another tune.
here is the link for the pass key: (is this correct)

i just dont understand why the pass key stuff wont work... the abs light doesnt alternate with the battery and security light like its supposed to... the security screen doesnt even pop on at all, unless the doors open..

Yes it was a bummer. We spent a day installing it (pretty sweet kit btw-very complete) and like Bryce said we quickly came to the conclusion of the pcm trouble. I double checked the fueling to be sure it was good and everything I did checked out okay. So I hooked up AutoTap to see if it could connect to the "Radix tuned PCM" It did find it, but did not fire the engine.
Meanwhile we had to put the stock pcm in. First turn of the key it fired right up hunting for idle and billowing black smoke like I knew it would without a tune These pcm in the mail deal things are great, but this time it seems to have fallen short.
I know it will be up and running soon when the pcm deal is solved though. The install went well.
