Initializing New Computer on 98
I got my new computer today for my 98. It's been programmed with Ls1Edit for a number of things including 3.42 gears, headers, free flow cats, ported MAF and ported TB and a few other goodies and performance tuning. Unfortunately, they forgot to put any instructions with it and of course closed until Saturday or Monday now.
So I went ahead and installed it anyway. That was easy enough. When reconnecting the battery and turning the key on I got a "Pull Key, wait 10 sec" message which I did. Then after putting the key back in and the DIC cleared I attempted to start it. It cranks and starts for a second then stalls.
I had this happen with my stock computer and I let it sit with the key on for 11 minutes followed by the key off for 30 seconds and repeated 3 times. This did the trick. Before doing the same thing I wanted to see if there was something else I should be doing.
I can wait until Saturday or Monday, but I'm anxious and also don't want to screw anything up.
Suggestions? Thanks...

Re: Initializing New Computer on 98 ('97 C5)
Joe, do as you posted and it will start. The other option is to have someone with a Tech II set it up.

Re: Initializing New Computer on 98 (78Vette-SA)
Well, that did the trick. I don't know if there is a shortcut, but I did 11 minutes on and 30 secs off 3 times. Started right up.
What a difference with the customer programmed computer. !!! :smash: :smash: :smash:
