Phoenix Switch-On-The-Fly Chip (DISCOUNTINUED) (Disabled)
Power Hungry no longer sells the Phoenix/TS chip, but if you need custom tuning we can recommend a few really good tuners that will be able to still provide tuning and support for your chip.

If you have any other questions or comments about the Phoenix/TS chip, please post it here.

Jeff,
There aren't any special changes that were made to your tunes when they shipped. You may need to have the PCM scanned for codes as there isn't anything that I can think of that would cause the CEL to come on immediately on start-up short of insufficiently cleaned PCM contacts or a hard failure of a sensor or something (wierd that it would have happened overnight though).

The PCM is looking for a glow plug control module......you don't have one of those, you have a relay.


Take the chip out (I don't need the switch), put it in a box with a note that has your RMA number on it, and send it back to us.
I'll put the correct tunes on the chip and send it back to you the same day with a refund on the shipping charge to get it back here.

It's simply a number that we assign to keep the returns in order. No big deal.
