I have a 98 Deville... the computer that's in the bottom intake chamber below the air filter box is the PCM or is it something else? Is it also a thermal electronic device that actually cools down the surrounding air or is it just a big slab of aluminum?
It's a big, useless slab of carefully designed aluminum used for airflow control. Don't even read the ID sticker, cut off the 100 or so wires, tape them up and pitch it. The drivetrain will love you. You will gain 126 hp and the airbox will flow twice as much air as a K&N filter modified with 10W-50 magic oil.
Hell yeah and I'll get some K&N and NOS stickers, they add torque at 2000 and 5000 rpm!
Haha no I asked this because I didn't know what that thing is and why is it in an air intake. So if the PCM is not in the intake it'll overheat unless there's a good-sized fan blowing at it then?
So this also means that if the intake sucked up water then the PCM will fry before water gets into the engine right? I remember I took a picture of the PCM a few years ago... ahh found it
As you can see there is a removable computer chip in there under a pretty hefty sealed aluminum cover. Maybe this is how they go from vin Y to vin 9 and vice versa without having to redesign a new circuit board?
