I am currently running v3 and recently got DTC 0012 and 0014.... The car worked great in the morning and when going to leave for home from work the car would start and idle but when giving gas it would sputter and die and CEL would come on...
Plugged in laptop and got the above mentioned DTC's
I then did some looking around and found that the negative battery cable was not soldered correctly and was hanging on by a thread underneath the shrink tubing.
I also noticed in link that the TPS is not registering at all when i press the gas.
Could i have lost the tune because of the lose cable?

Would anyone be willing to look at a log?
 
Yup, I just had my negative disconnected for about 6 hours on Saturday while I was doing some fiddling with the car and didn't lose my tune. I cant answer whether or not you will if you touch positive to negative so I don't recommend that :p
 
Here is a log.... can anyone tell me what is going on?
