Glitches with my RTek stage 2?
I went to set my idle with the RTek today and this is what happened:
Checked off initial set coupler.
It said it had to above above 164 degrees but it said the car wasn't warmed up yet and woudln't give me my actual temperature.
I went back to my logging screen where the car was reading 183 degrees.
I click next anyways seeing as the car was actually warmed up fully, and at the TPS stage, it said I must adjust to make it 20%, but it wouldn't give me what my reading was, it just said it wasn't within range...
Sometimes when I want to log, I change the parameters I want to log, but when I go to the log screen, the parameters didn't change and it's just back to an old setting?
Anyone else have this problem?

Yeah. I've seen where the screen said it was not up to temperature and that was bullshit. Because I'd already had the engine running for sometime and ALSO looked at the water temp which was in the 185 degree range. So, that puzzled me also.
I more or less backed out of that feature of setting idle and went and looked at water temp again and some other things and THEN returned to the SET IDLE screen. If memory serves it took two times of this backing out procedure to get it to function right and show the real water temp and let me go on to set the idle speed.
Short answer is YES, I've seen it and overcome it by *turning the thing off and back on* so to speak. Sorry, never let DIGITAL TUNING know about it because I *overcame* the problem. Lazy be I.
That was stage 2.1.

I've had this problem on the non turbo car also. The best way to overcome it was to get out of RTEK on the Palm and enter another progarmm like Zeitronix or whatever else you have, then going back to the RTEK programm.
