    My Camaro now has Auto Stop

    I've run into a little issue after getting my 2020 Camaro SS (manual transmission) back from the tuner. Twice now, the car shut off at a stop and I get an auto stop message on the dash. The tuner can't seem to figure out why either. How can this even happen? Camaros don't have this feature.
    I took it to have Kooks headers and BTR 220 camshaft installed. Then dyno tuned.

    Thanks in advance.

    LOL.... Cool. Are you sure it's auto stop and not just dying then showing the message? Post a log and the tune. Make sure 0 pedal torque, ignition timing and engine torque along with anything auto stop related is in the channels.

    I would post a log, but unfortunately I opted for the TDN option this time around and can't see any of the tune info. Kinda regretting that decision.

    On the 20's the engine should read out if you get your own interface. If you have an interface in general you should be able to read it out depending on the software version and by that I'm referring to some of the newer software requiring a newer interface to read it. Otherwise, since they tuned it, see if they can figure it out and fix it because we can't do anything other than guess.

    Does the car restart when you take your foot off of the brake pedal?

    Strange. Try switching to sport mode. Sport mode is suppose to disable the auto/stop feature. So, it shouldn't shut off while in sport mode. This really sounds like the idle in the tune needs work. Again, this is just my opinion.

    That did cross my mind this morning. I will try that when I drive the car home.
    But, yeah, I agree with the idle tune needing adjustment as well.

    Doesn't sound like it's actually autostop mode in what I think of as autostop (shutting off at redlights). Maybe just something in a left over piece of code that happens to pop up on an unexpected engine shut off.

    I haven't had stalling issues with GEN Vs in some time, but if I recall correctly and if the car does end up stalling, it will say something like "auto shutoff" in the DIC. Reminds me of the Hellcats when you go to start the car, and the DIC tells you to step on the clutch and brake to start the vehicle, when the vehicle is an automatic. lol
