I assume there is big time reprogramming of the pcm.IN case of dead battery the program goes to stock settings?So if one runs the car is there a possibility of damage,especially the spark advance settings.
Thanks

Think about it like this, if your phone dies you don't lose your contacts - because they're stored on your phone. If your car battery dies, you don't lose your tune, it's stored in the PCM.

If the battery dies you do not lose the tune.
