laptop for tunning?
Does anyone know if a Celeron M processor, 1.4ghz. will work for tunning with tunercat and datamaster? It says on Tunercats web site that minimum requirements are a pentium 266. I don't know if a celeron will work. Thanks, Ray

Yes, thank you. I had one before and I couldn't get it to work. I was even useing the Belkin USB adapter that they recomended. Anyway, I was going to get a Dell 600m that has a serial port and try this tunning stuff again.

I have no idea what a pcmci architectural is. Maybe a type of a laptop processor, but I already bought the Celeron.

OK, I think I got it now. You use the card slot for serial connection. Correct? Ahh, man, I didn't know they had them or I could of used an old laptop I had. Better not tell my wife about that. LOL. Oh well, my new laptop has the serial conector in the back and it's alot faster.

How to scan a C4 vette
Hello all,
I am having a "Service Engine Soon" light poping up sometimes on my prestine C4 vette.
I wonder what is the best way to scan for it. Can I use a computer with a cable and software?
Or shall I by a reader such as the Equus/Innova 3123 GM Code Reader (1982 - 1995)
Thanks,
C.F.

Scheidecker-2 things, post the year of your vette, and fill out your profile! If it's an OBD1-earlier C4 it may be as simple to read your codes using a paper clip. But you need to post the year so we can help.
