reading stock chip bin
I have the Moates Flash & Burn as well as the adaptor to read the stock chips. However, only one of the "read" settings will read the stock chip. When I review the stock chip bin file, it doesn't look right??
Can anyone help me determine the proper manual settings to read the stock ECM?
Also, can I tell loading a saved bin to turner pro if it is valid?
TIA!

After some emails w/ Craig Moates I've got some things figured out. My bone stock ECM reads just fine & I was able to mod my fan temps down, burn to another chip & all is well. However, I also have a Formato aftermaket ECM that looks stock but I'm seeing now is NOT. Hidden under a layer of black silicone is where they cut & jumpered a couple of pins on the EPROM. Looks like pin 2 to pin 28?? I'm having to dig deep in my memory history on the pin numbers from college when we studied chips for a few weeks. Anyone know what that is doing & if I unjumper will be able to read that chip??
Sorry, ECM is from a 1990, 1227727 I'm guessing as stickers are long gone off the outside of the box. The 8D bin mask appears to work fine on the chip I can read. Just for Formato version that they have effectively locked me out of... for now anyway...

Woo hoo!!! I got it!!! Removed the jumper wire & repaired the two cut pins on the prom chip. Read it just fine & used that info to adjust a stock bin file I had. Will be testing that tomorrow but the stock bin I adjusted last night to lower fan on/off temps worked just fine!!!I can now say that I've burned my own chip!!! Baby steps but steps non the less!!
