The Piggyback Chip feedback, reviews, issues, diagnostic and questions thread

[SeoulStinger]

Got the part in. Replace both the coil and spark plug. The vehicle drive perfect now.

With the piggyback tune?

 

[Hungtran505]

I don't know if its cause my the piggyback tune or not. At this point its kinda hard to say.

I meant is the owner still driving with the piggyback installed now that its running fine or has it been disconnected?

 

[Hungtran505]

No I believe he will leave the piggyback off until further testing.

Please keep us looped in

Off topic: You live in Raleigh? I thought you guys operated out of CA. I bought a couple of things from last year and they definitely shipped from CA. Have yall moved?

I'm the East Coast rep, I live in Holly Springs actually about 20 min from downtown Raleigh.

Everything ships from California though since I do not handle distribution just marketing, social media, and customer service.

We have not moved!

We just got a report on the other forum of a member NOT using a tune or chip that popped his plugs. 100% stock

I went to Raleigh a few weeks back and spent the weekend there. I was planning on moving there when I get out of the military but my wife says the only way she'd agree to it is if I bought her a kitten. Not gonna happen.

I love the area. Spent most of my time downtown. Had a hotel right across from the bell tower at the school. Just gotta change her mind.

Dude! We should get up sometime, would love to meet you and see your Stinger! I'll be at cars and coffee next weekend (Saturday) in Morrisville near the airport.

Unfortunately I live about 2.5 hours away. I really enjoyed the area. I'm still working on her to get her to agree to move there. I'm doing lots of research on areas she wants to live in so I can pin-point reasons for us not to live there.

No we are not. This is a customer car.

Will Kia cover the parts again under warranty if you put the piggyback back on and the misfire comes back?

 

[Hungtran505]

I would say so.

 

[3.3Turbo4me]

I would say so.

In that case you should ask if he wants to try it again so we can at least know.

 

[Hungtran505]

I believe he will wait for more data for the upgrade plug

He believes you are correct. Who?s the participant willing to take one for the team?

Thanks again Tran.

Your welcome.

I will not install anything in my personal vehicle or a customer vehicle that will cause damage to the engine without any real test data.

Coming from a Kia tech, this is a good enough reason for me to hold off on a tune.

Has anyone testing the recommended plugs?

We decided to go with the M40il plugs instead of the M45il, I felt two step colder is not necessary as most likely the issue is with the plug gap rather than the heat range but 1 step colder will not harm anything.

Anyways, we gapped the M40iL plugs at .024 and ran the LAP3 on the 91octane setting even though we are using 93octane. 3rd day now, so far so good.
