    Chevy Spark Tune-ability?

    Hey everyone first post!! Just wondering if a 2013 Chevrolet Spark is tunable using HPTuners? I used an outdated version of the software and was able to read gauges and all but no tunable options. I know i need to update but will the updates let me tune on this 1.2 liter spark. I seen the sonic was able to be tuned and if im not mistaken some have the same engine as the Spark. Thanks in advanced for the information!

    I don't have anything outstanding.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    You must be talking about the Scanner and not the Editor.

    correct will the editor work on this car or will I have to wait for another update? All that I'm looking to do is change shift points and change my throttle position from 84% which is the max now to 100%

    Even if you set the tune to 100% the throttle may still only open to 84%. I haven't tuned a spark, but some throttles just don't open 100%

    that is a possibility...do you know of anyone on here who could make a tune for it? Im no expert and just paying someone to do it would probably be my best bet. but on another note do you know when 2.25 will allow me to tune on the car? 2 weeks is all that it says.

    Can you get a successful read from the pcm that brings you to licencing options?

    You are still using the scanner. You need to use the editor. 84% TPS is normal.

    Yes and they said if they do decide to support it, it will be towards the end of the year at the earliest.
