No offense man but I can't really understand what you're saying other than your engine isn't running right and you have a code 42 set.

Re: help please

DTC 42 involves a lot more than the Opti. There is a detailed analysis sheet in the shop manual showing the steps required to rule out each component. Get a copy of the chart and work your way through it. IC Module, shorts or grounds in the wiring, etc.

What codes did you have before the "tune"?

What did the "tune" consist of?

What did you "put on"?

What year is the car?

What are the mods on the car?

Very hard to answer a question without all the background.

I don't think people realize how much lack of punctuation and capitalization makes their posts almost incomprehensible. A lot of people will look at a post like this and not even bother to respond.
