Default diablo sport ruined my car

okay i bought a diablosport tuner like 4 months ago and it was doing good for awhile and now my car runs like CRAP, they told me to increase my MAF to 2%, so i did and it got worse, then i asked in a forum and some of the guys told me that i need to change my fuel filter and sparks, so i did. and now it still does the same of FLIPPIN thing, driving me nuts here, i don't know if it's the altitude that's doing this to my car or what, there where three codes that popped up,
car running to lean,
obd sensor,
fuel pressure something
something else
any hints out there on why my car is running like this, i'm tired of it, it's just spittering and spattering, any help would do some good, thanks

Try returning the car to stock tune. If that fixes the problem it was just a bad tune and you should be able to get one...

Put it back to stock and buy a tune, you don't want to mess with the settings if you don't know what you are doing, engine go boom.
Bamachips are a good source for the diablo tunes.

fuel pressure something could be bad fuel pump, plugged pump screen or fuel filter, which could cause it to run poor. the code numbers might reveal more info.

if it was the tuner, one might think it would run bad right from the start, not after a period of time. but i guess things could get corrupt somehow

If you dont have Cold air intake, tune the car back to stock and see if the problem is there, if the car still bugs, your tune is fine and theres something wrong with the car. Just do it, its simple.

+1 if you dont have any mods other than you tuner then i would return it to stock and check for the same problem or drive back to the city where you installed the tune and try reload the tune that started running like crap and see if it runs better

From the Diablo sport users guide...

To restore Original Backup go to Performance Tune and then select Original Backup.

When the Predator starts to write the Original Backup into your vehicle, a progress bar will indicate the status of writing.
Follow all instructions on the Predator screen. The complete process will take about 1 minute.
