Can anyone load bin file on my PCM?

[m_dogg]

I replaced my MAF some time ago and ever since my tune went to shit....I still have the bin file on my computer and no other mods were installed since. Can anyone help me out here? BTW, it was tuned with Power Tuner if it helps.

so wait, you want the same file reflashed to the PCM again? What good is that going to do exactly?

If the tune sucks, it needs retuned, not just reflashed with some arbitrary .bin.

...unless I'm misunderstanding you here...

^To be honest, I have no clue when it comes to tuning....Tune is good, its just having a wierd "hickup" when shifting into 2nd @ WOT causing over 7* kr...it started happenig when I replaced the maf sensor, so I figured if I reflash the PCM with the exact same tune maybe it could help...shit man...I dunno...

Reflashing the tune will do absolutely nothing for you. Did you replace the MAF with another stock one, or aftermarket?

Post up some more detail about the problem you are having. There are a ton of 3800 guys on here and one of them has likely experienced the same problem you are having.

After replacing maf sensor it started having this wierd "hickup" more like short cut off right before shifting into 2nd gear. Other than that, no problems at all. Also its doing it from a dead stop only so no more street races for me until I get this shit fixed ;-/

Right before shifting into 2nd gear = high RPM. Chances are your MAF is leaning out your engine, which is causing the knock. I'd get a scan on it to see whats going on before I worry about reflashing it.

BTW, if you want to see if folks can open your BIN - you'd be best to post it up somewhere so we can give it a shot.

so you replaced your maf (on your 04 GS?) with a Junkyard stocker and you now get a hiccup? did the orig maf die? or were you experiencing the same issues even after replacment?

#1 thing i would start with is to use some Qtips with alot of the cotton pulled off the ends and some rubbing alcohol to clean the sensor wires

some tip in issues may also be caused by a vacum leak but since this has started happening after the maf was replaced start there (assuming that the problem wasnt occuring beforehand

Spray MAF cleaner FTW

unfortunatly i've found that only works to clean the oils off the sensor..you actually need to scrub the dirt that accumulates on the backside of the thermisters (downwind side)

First off it started happening fall last year when I cleaned it...so I thought I fcked it up, picked one up from an 02 GS and that didnt fix the problem. I have my original maf in there now since its still workin.

So do you want me to scrub the wires not the "resistor" looking thing in the middle? I already sprayed the shit out of it with brake cleaner (LOL just kidding) I used the crc maf cleaner

the tiny wires dont seem to catch the crud nearly as well as the backside of the thermister.... clear your fuel trims by disconnecting the battery for a while and take it for a few spins...if the issue is still there youll want to scan the map or hookup a vac gauge....
