Which tune are you running? Do you know if you have the good or bad MAP sensor - definitely makes a difference?

If you haven't contacted RIPP, you should definitely consider doing so.

Also, hook up the Predator and check out which codes have been thrown - with misfires, and the lightning bolt something should be showing up.

This is old - but just in case

It sounds like the tune is not installed - Lighting bolts are diabled in all current RIPP tunes

This is a little disconcerting . . . is the Electronic Throttle Control warning the only indicator disabled by RIPP's tunes or are there others?

No all RIPP tunes keep all engine safety parameters 100% functional, what the earlier post should have expressed is; that function is still there if the TB has a real issue, but its been properly scaled or corrected to the air volume the compressor delivers. Its likely when you do a fresh install or your moving tunes in and out of the Jeep, you can mess a step up and default to the stock (NA) tune back into the vehicle.... For example if the tunes been updated and the indicator comes on right away, its more likely the tune was not properly installed than there actually being a problem.

In which case ripptuning@gmail.com will suggest revisiting the tune sequence.

Ahhh . . . thanks for the elucidation. Sounds much better than the earlier "disabled warnings" statement. Thanks.
