Engine Overspeed PIP tunes

Notneb · Jul 22, 2015

So today I was messing around in town, on hot street so not race setting, floored it and boom, engine shut off. I managed to wrestle it off the road. Turned the key off and back on started it, had a CEL and then revved the engine. Shut down again, pulled out the tuner and checked the codes, had the usual CCV and turbo one, also had a new one: engine Overspeed. So I'm sitting here right now putting it to Street setting to get home. Anyone run into this yet? 2015 with PIP tunes.

Really hoping it's not from my CCV dump into the exhaust mod...

I had that problem with the IDP hot street tune once, However it was because the truck spun bad and revved stupid high. Talk about embarrassing on the track when the truck just died and I had to come to a stop and turn the key off to reset it. Never had the problem again tho.

The 15s are SUPER sensitive. Its almost like every mod needs to be accounted for when tuning involved. Are any wires pinched at ANY place? Believe it or not if they are, youd be surprised what kinds of RANDOM codes can be thrown.

Going to double check in the morning, didn't have any issues on street, so I'm ruling out that it has anything to do with my CCV mod. I'll put it in race when I get home and see what that does. If it's only doing it in hot street, maybe I can get with PIP and see if we can do some adjusting. Gotta love being at the forefront of all this lol!

Sounds like it could be somthing with the Rev limit in the tune. What RPM did this happen at?

Notneb · Jul 23, 2015

It wasn't past the redline, high 3's but it definitely revved faster than normal. That's why at first I thought maybe the high boost was causing an exaggerated Venturi effect on my CCV connection in my exhaust, resulting in a vaccum in the crankcase. But I couldn't replicate it with the street tune, which leads me to believe *hope* that it's a glitch in the tuning...

Are your tunes Labeled as Hot street and Extreme? All my Pip files were labeled as Performance and Extreme. My IDP tunes are labeled Hot street and Race. Set your X4 up to datalog and go make a run and see what your high rpm was when it gives the code.

Not the 15's fault its the tuner. Since H&S is not in the game anymore this is what you are stuck with!!!

Notneb · Jul 23, 2015

Yeah I miss H&S... Hopefully Spartan picks up the baton...

Quick update: Just called PIP and they confirmed that I'm running IDP tunes, so now I get to have words with the vendor I purchased the x4 from... Anyways, they're gonna email me their tunes and hopefully we get this fixed!

Yes some of it is tuning, BUT I can say Ive pinched a wire before by accident on my 12 and didnt have anything happen. Youd be surprised what happens when the EGR butterfly valve wire gets pinched between the H&S plate and intake manifold on a 15 LOL. Fuel rail pressure sensor error codes and other B$ LOL. We even looked at the wire afterwards and it wasnt damaged at all! Usually though the people who are doing the tuning come through and will help people out for codes that occur due to mods. Patience sucks sometimes though haha

Awesome!! Glad you are getting fixed up! They took care of all my buddies 15 issues as well

Yep, I double checked my wires, luckily since I did the SS piping kit along with the egr delete and ccv delete, it's REAL easy to see all the wires

Got v7.2 tunes from PIP loaded up, starting out on performance, about to go run her up and down the road, see if the overspeed is fixed! Dave hooked me up price wise too, gotta say I'm liking PIP customer support so far

dayum !

Notneb · Jul 23, 2015

Don't get me wrong, I'm not slamming IDP, just that the vendor assured me it was PIP tunes, so I looked like an idiot trying to talk to Dave at PIP about why his tunes were throwing codes. Had I known it was IDP tunes I would've purchased the tuner through Bigrpowr so I'd have an easier time getting updates and troubleshooting. Don't want anyone to think I'm starting a "tuner a is better than tuner b" thread lol.

Is said vendor still on this site or recently departed?

Captaincworley · Jul 23, 2015

Yea man I didn't think it sounded like Pip files being they were labeled as Hot Street and Race. I've got the 7.2 Performance and Extreme files but haven't tried them yet as I'm still on the Hot Street tune from IDP. Keep us updated and let us know how it works out. I'm pretty sure you could have still ordered from Nolimit as he can get you Pip tunes as well if I'm not mistaken! Yea if you don't mind which vendor was it?
