I agree. If your F5 is lighting up and will cycle through the positions, then I'd call Jody.

talked to jody he seems to think it might be the controller, he was pretty suprised. Told me to ship it back so its on its way. When you cycle through the chip should you hear a idle change or anything of the nature? I didnt but seems like you would hear or notice something. I hoping something is bad with the switch cause if its not there was not any noticable gains. It should be very obvios. It is with my scmt in it. Thanks

Going through the tunes you may hear a little blip in the idle but when you go from a tune to the stock setting you will notice a wandering idle for a second while ICP stabilizes.

Man, Jody's tunes a very good. You will know when it's right. Even the throttle response in stock is MUCH better.
