My 01 does NOT do the 1st gear disable thing either, contrary to what many people have told me it should do.

Re: Northstar Tuning

Ok I had some problems.
The program I have is saved on a disc. The last time I saved it I must not have save the fuel cut and EGR. I still hit about 135 MPH on the hoist.
first is the donor car
Next is the donor PCM
Next is the stand alone programmer
Next is it all hooked together
Next is The IM Flags
Next is NO DTC's set in the CAR!
Next is a picture of a 135 MPH cut, but the camera locked and I had to remove the battery to get it to shut down

Re: Northstar Tuning

Like said I had the EGR IM Flag off and the speed limiter.
I have to replace the pistons in that car and I will start in the morning and should have it done about 5 or 6. If I have a chance I will Take another program in and use it. I have it here at home and will check it over. I really do not want to run a new set of pistons up to 150 MPH on the first start. I may wait until Friday.

Re: Northstar Tuning

That's a curious vehicle that will do 127 MPH at 4400 RPM. 2:75 final drive? Why would someone screw up a '65 (?) 'Vette with a high winding engine with no torque????????? (OK... I read the post again - sorry........BTW, I had a '67 427/435 new, and like a dam*ed fool, sold it in '68) Dumb, or what?

Re: Northstar Tuning

Thanks.
Yes my fast car is not a Cadillac. I was told you can not do that too many times by guys on the Fiero forum. I am not a HUGE Fiero fan, but they have grown on me. 10 months ago I would considered them junk. I had a coupe of Northstars hanging around and needed a FWD 4spd manual trans. I came across the Fiero and decided to do up a Northstar. Yes it is fast. I did it as a wedding fund and I have no intention of keeping it. I have only done top quality work on it. That is why I have Hacked into PCM's. I have not mislead anyone, but I did not answer some questions. I think That Caddy's are much better cars and the Fiero needs to have a 3.8L SC in it. I may do a RWD 2 seater Northstar or even a 4.4L SC car. I think may be a SKY. I can make this happen.

Re: Northstar Tuning

Maybe I'm missing the boat, but why are you showing us the TECH 2 scanning for codes? That tells me nothing at all. I can do that too.

Re: Northstar Tuning

I may be wrong but I think that spedo is at 135 not 125.

I have a limo based programs. I do not mean a streched limo. I have a STS limo based program with fast delivery system. This maybe an armored car or part of a motor cade.
If you are getting shot at 130 MPH and you can't get away then 130 MPH is not fast enough.
You have seen the video of the RWD STS out running the cop in NY.
I have a german based program, but it is RHD and Euro brake. I can't get it to run.
I can take the Fast delivery STS limo Calibration and rework it for you. I will need to reset the tire size. That car should be an 8 lug.
I have a completed Limo based VIN Y for a guy with a 03 DHS and it does not stop at 130 MPH.
How much more torque do you think a LIMO needs?
How about an armored car?
Caddy's are shipped all over the world and the programs are all different., but I can compare the programs and work with them.
Now do you see why Westers wants all the VINs.

That PCM is on the bench and the I/M flags are passed. I will show you the stock calibration tomarrow. That PCM does not need a cat, AIR system, Post O2s, O2 heaters,and an EGR. Yes the EGR was flagged in that picture.

I have no light switch in my stall. It is shut off in the parts department. I work in the dark a lot at night.
Dark shop bright dash = bad picture.
If I use a flash then I would just get a light burst.
I will try it again in the day light
