Hi, i gave up on games a long time a ago but just wanted to let everyone know that Sporn on PC has a virus that beds itself onto you computer, i dont know much about it but it seems to watch your comuter and give back info to EA even if you try and remove the program form the computer itself

BEWARE!!!

Its an online check thing, that makes sure that each copy of the game can only be installed 3 times max (not sure if it counts reinstall as one), after you have used up 3 attempts you have to phone EA to get a new key.

I would assume that the "virus" you are talking about is this program that monitors this.

Ironically, if you get the hacked version, that program is removed by the hackers.

BTW nearly all of EA's latest games have this online check bit, that limits each key to a certain # of install.

Probably cracked already, Reloaded have already released the game as an image + the crack on torrent sites.

I found most of the new (& up coming games) from EA all have this sort of protection. like the new crysis expansion & red alert 3.

Great job EA following Microsoft's gay DRM method = I'm never buying a game with such protection, locking your key for a limit # of installs is just beyond gay. :P

    • Was that with the cas upside or correct way up?
    • Did and sync timing with light 
    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
