So if you pull the flex fuel sensor and put 93 octane in, the ECU will treat it like E40 and run super rich.
The tune needs to be removed. I would think most tuners would flash the stock file back in for free in your situation. At least I would.

Well thank you for that, it certainly puts that into a perspective I can understand.
