Eprom emulator?
Has anyone tried/seen this thing?
It claims you can hook it up to the ECM (from what I read) and real time tune. Non of that data sample then program a chip then test. You can change things on demand, and once you find the right mix, save it. Then burn a chip.

Re: Eprom emulator? (88_vette)
I havn't personally used one-but from all I've read from folk who've tried it....it's not perfect; at least not yet. It sounds like the problem is in the switching to the new bin-the ecm will go into limp home. There are some folk working on it; it seems you have to time it correctly-if the ecm is trying to read info at that instant=limp home mode. It has been working by stopping, shut it down/flash/restart. So if that'll work for you....But it's still not "on the fly." And you still need to scan it to see where your blms are at etc.-it doesn't do that for you. If the rationale for the limp home results are different from the above-someone please jump in here!

I'll wait a while on this one I think. I still don't know much abotu the other stuff. I guess I should learn it first.
