I 'am considering a chip from pcmforless. My car is stock except for replaced injectors. (Ford SVO yellow tops) The reason, after months of driving I've had a slight miss. Nothing bad, just the nagging, every couple of seconds, miss. Done pretty much all you would consider. Wires, plugs, rotor, cap, didn't replace the coil (the gizmo on the top of dist.) replaced the CTS, IAC, reset idle, timing, no codes. Would I be wasting my money? , am I dreaming this might solve my problem?. What would the chip do for me, other turn my fans on at a requested temp ?
I sent you a PM with details. I have a chip I have been running in my car before the mods.
If you want to try it, I'll send it to you. If you like it, keep it. If not, send it back.
See your PM with details.
The chip has to have the right ID on it to work, I believe.
Not when I purchased it. I called him gave him the year, he programmed it and I picked it up.
Now, I am sure it's not as good as a dyno tune, but for a stock car, it ran great. My goal was simply to turn down the fan temp, which it does. It also advances the timing and changes the fuel delivery.
I had Chuck at Corvettes of Westchester look at the programming, he said it's close enough to what he would do that there's no point in having him do a new one. I believe he gets his chips from PCMFORLESS, but I can't be sure. Based on his representation I believe the original guy did a decent job.
