The Derretta, 1994 base with some attitude.

This is why I like the prom chip is removable from the obd1 stuff. If it goes bad, its just one chip instead of a whole ECM.whiteretta wrote:Jon mentioned on Facebook that it may be a corrupt tune file that's killing the ECM's, it makes sense. I put the tune in the new ECM, then can't connect anymore...woody90gtz wrote:Are you positive the new ECM is good? Can't find any issues with the wiring?
I ordered another ECM, I should be seeing it in a week. I deleted the tune files I was using, and modified the stock tune with the basics. Injector flowrate, EGR activation RPM, governor and rev limiter.

$30 on eBay was very reasonable to me, lol.
Next on the list is getting my new rear axle POR15'd and prepped for the Neon disc swap...

Tore down the new axle today! The junk poly bushings just pushed right out, but the internal sway bar bolts needed coerced.

Yep. But being electrical I'd probably source the parts and repair my ECM. lol3X00-Modified wrote:But ecm's are so cheap!GT_Indy wrote:This is why I like the prom chip is removable from the obd1 stuff.

Can the OBD2 tuner emulate off the laptop and do changes on the fly or does it have to reflash each time?

Rewritable chips are $5. Haha
What am I missing about poly bushings in a stock rear axle beam? Aren't they rubber?
I tried to use a ball joint press to remove mine but didn't have the perfect adapter for it. Thinking I'll need to pull the whole axle out and do it on a bench.

Re: The Derretta, 1994 base with some attitude.
I need to buy TunerPro RT, so I can check out live data. The free one is nice, but I really want to be able to tune it properly. RT is only $40 too.
The axle is Shane's old axle and it had the Delrin bushings, which were junk lol. I have some Moog ones on order though!

Gotcha.
RT is free with an optional donation. It's just a 10sec wait if you don't pay it.

More good progress today! Most of the surface rust is removed from the new rear axle. The internal sway bar is going to be the fun one though...

Re: The Derretta, 1994 base with some attitude.
I had a FUN project today. It appears that when I installed my euro headlights that I never really wired them properly after I test wired them. Good Lord that was a cluster. So many wire nuts, and no ryhme or reason for the wiring routing. It's all fixed now though! I just need to pick up some more zip ties and it'll be all good.
