No, they were wired correctly. Evolve's kit has the wires color coded the same as the stock harness. In addition I've read that it doesn't matter which way they go as long as they're wired into #1 and #3. I don't know if that's the case though.

Went for another drive today. The SES came back on after a total of about 40 miles. I guess that's progress but I'm at a loss as to what's wrong.

Rob, did you ever get anywhere with Evolve? They sent me the same link. There definitely isn't anything wrong with my vacuum lines and the car is running fine.

I haven't done anything since my last contact with Evolve. They insist it is vacuum issue. I received another tune to turn off 2FDA. I was thinking the same about IT sensor wiring. I have the kit sitting on my desk and ready to do the wiring this week.

Evolve sent a modified tune to me as well last month. I don't know that it helped. After my last drive cycle (the first since clearing codes [again, again, again] and they always return on the second cycle) I modified how I had the vacuum line to the master cylinder secured JUST IN CASE it was pinched (although I was very careful when I installed it make sure that it wasn't). I don't know when I'll have time to get back in the car for a drive but if the SES comes back on next time I'll be at a complete loss. Everything looks fine. There were, of course, no installation instructions included so it's possible that I did something incorrectly but there really aren't too many places to make a mistake. I guess if it comes on again I may have to try to figure out how to do DIY smoke test to see if there are any tiny leaks anywhere.

Quit bragging! Seriously, though, you're running Epic right? I was gonna go with them until Evolve said they had everything figured out. Guess maybe that's what I get for cheaping out. I guess I'm never gonna learn.

yep running epic, very happy with them so far.

codes, yes i have a few, but only related to an oxy sensor gone the way of the dinosaurs. Occurred a few times last year and now seems to be back. ordered 11787540167. Hopefully ill catch the correct sensor straight away. Probably shoulda bought 2, but at the price those puppies come in at, ill try one first.

Vanne, can Amazon ship there?
I bought all 4 a while back for about $80 each. U.S. spec, mind you.
Allow me to reiterate for anybody else considering it:
Pre-cat (2)
Post-cat 1-3 (1)
Post-cat 4-6 (1)

No such luck on the EGT sensor. That one cost me $200.

Guys

Can you email me directly and let me know if you are getting this CEL as we tested the updated tune (fixed heel and toe/brake on cold start fluctuation) on 2 cars before releasing it. Also confirm if it is just a CEL.

I still have SES/CEL since installing the airbox. Haven't got time to troubleshoot this issue the last few months. Just too busy with other projects.

Evolve sent a new tune a couple months ago that took care of the SES. I think they just tuned those codes out. I still have the RPM dip when I take the car out of gear to come to a stop. It's not great but it hasn't stalled so I guess I'll just get used to that little hiccup.

I have the tune but have not flash it yet. I want to sort this out if possible before using the new tune. I noticed the dip in idle too when come to a stop. It doesn't happen all the time but I noticed it more when car is driven hard.

Yeah. I'd say it happens maybe 60% of the time and a small fraction of those times it goes down to about 500 rpm and shudders.

Did you ever get this issue sorted out with an updated tune? I'm looking into getting the evolve airbox and tune, so I'm definitely curious.
