Advice needed on disabling ASR
After I recently added the Bailey LTCC ignition to my 94 LT-1, I noticed the tach wouldn't work and the "Service ASR" light was on. After reading several previous posts on the Forum, I ran a new white wire from the PCM to the tach filter and solved the tach problem, but the "Service ASR is still on and remains on all the time. Last Saturday I tried some acceleration runs to test the Bailey ignition unit and I felt like the car was being held back and not accelerating smoothly. It felt as though the brakes were being applied as I pushed the throttle. I did not feel the throttle pushing back as though the ASR was kicking in. I did not accelerate hard enough to spin the wheels. As a note, I replaced the TPS with a new one when I cleaned and rebuilt the throttle body. However, I didn't use a Tech 1 to do the learning thing with the PCM. Could this be part of the problem? To disable the ASR, I know I could push the dash switch, however I do this all the time, but would prefer to remove the ASR accelerator cables and motor under the hood and disconnect the connector at the EBTCM. Is this a smart thing to do, or is there a smarter way to disable the ASR?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
