Say you bought a 92 Corvette from the biggest god damned, mother ****ing IDIOT in the galaxy and he not only peeled off the sticker from the ECM, but he also replaced the broadcast code sticker on the memcal itself with a sticker that reads "1992 corvette LT1 6 speed".

Trying to order a chip from PCM of NC and they don't bother to tell you that you NEED this info until AFTER you order the ****ing thing.

I assume the EPROM has been modified, which is the reason the BCC code label was removed.

You could try matching up your configuration with the ones on the tuner web sites like TunerPro. The main things you need to know are the year, manual vs. automatic trans and the rear end ratio.

One way to find out what's in the EPROM is to use an EPROM burner and read the information. Then you would have to compare it to possible .BIN files until you found a match. The ID code would be useful to know.

Yeah, it's a remanufactured ECM and I'm guessing that the memcal came from a junkyard. I found that the BAFL seems to be the only one for the 92 with the ZF transmission. I was a little irate when I posted this, just freaking annoying when every single important sticker has been removed.

A scanner will pick up a "code" that can generally be referenced to a PROM "broadcast" code.

'92 chart with "scanner ID" but you don't know for sure what yours is so just scan for 4 digit ID.

You should only need to supply anyone with the PROM scanner ID code or the BROADCAST information AND of course a suitable correct PROM core.
