possibly the apps..just changed mine yesterday, i had the dead petal issue a couple weeks ago. it fixed the problem(before the "dead petal" it would start out in 2nd when starting out from a dead stop)

P.S. How you like the juice? and do you have any pics of your rig?

the juice with a attitude is the best investment so far i love it power at the touch of a button and it adds lots of power on high levels truck pulls like crazy on level 5 and turns the 35's pretty well can keep up with some cars raced and beat a mustang in a race highly recomended and i will gets some pics up as soon as possible

Unhook the Edge and see if the code comes back. Seen way to many edge box failures causing problems like yours.
