Evo is shaking
I got my XEDE installed and tuned by Shiv back in April and have had very little problems besides a cell. Tonight, after not driving the car for a while, the car started shaking, couldn't get any power and had to pull over. I set my key in the position before start up for a while and then turned it without problems. Is the cold weather affecting the XEDE somehow? I'm thinking of selling it if this will cause my new car to stall.
thanks
Dave

Sounds like you blew a boost hose off the car. My stock hose came off at the throttle body last night. Terrible shaking, can't move the car faster than 5mph, zero power. Does this sound about right?

I've gotten the cell code p0300 to reoccur often. I've changed and gapped new NGK plugs. The problem has happened once in the summer and now last night while driving. Once in a while, starting the car it will shake like it's trying hard to idle, but goes away. Should I send Vishnu my XEDE and see if they see a problem?

Try checking and repluging the connections to your xede [hanging by the wires, loose pins, etc..]. I noticed that any movement or shock to the xede would make the car sputter and stall like that.

Does the vibration start while driving? I have been having this issue where the car starts vibrating and throws a CEL (P0300 -- random misfire) with complete loss of power. It happens in 5th gear on-throttle and the vibration only goes away if I lift for a few seconds. Staying on the gas just increases the vibration.
Is your situation similar? I've had XEDE for over 2 years but this just started after V3.2 upgrade and clutch install (don't think it's related to clutch).

I think it could be the XEDE..Try unplugging the XEDE and replug your factory harness and now try to start the car..If your car starts and runs without shaking or stalling then it's the XEDE.If it is the XEDE is probably because of the map and tune that they used because the temp. over there is different from where you are now the tune is done based on their temperature. So that's why you might have stalling problems when it's cold.
