If you only want to program chips
http://www.moates.net/burn2-chip-programmer-p-197.html?cPath=31

You will also need a seperate cable to datalog using software as mentioned above as noted above ( which you don't need with the APU1 unit)
http://www.aldlcable.com/

In any case regardless were you get your chip from you need this adapter to install the custom chip in the ECM

When running the carb , the still connected ECM ('165 ECM ) primes the pump as stock then does nothing .Injectors are not going to pulse because the ECM is not seeing any ref pulses .

The TCC lockup is very important to MPGs and performance, otherwise, the torque converter will not fully lock, meaning there is always lost power in the transmission.

Pete K will confirm but IIRC lockup is required on the early T700's because they only had full fluid flow to the trans cooler when in lockup mode.
This was changed to give full flow at all times with the revisions done in '89?

Diacom is a oldie but goodie DOS program.
Was a $500 program in the early '90's but uses a unique Diacom only cable that needs the now obsolete serial port connection ( as the included laptop has)

Diacom user interface is not so user friendly as more modern Windows based programs but you can playback saved Diacom datalogs in Datamaster to view with real time graphing of 4 selected parameters
See
http://powertuneplus.com/syclone/tunersguide_dm.shtm

Datamaster program is free to download.(select file for your engine )
http://www.ttspowersystems.com/DataMaster_downloads2.html

Gives unlimited playback of Diacom logs and also does data-logging in it's own right ;
20 times for free before you have to buy it using correct USB cable.
http://www.aldlcable.com
NB:
this USB/ALDL cable works with any modern data / tuning software ( except Diacom )

Commonly done by those that do not know any better

Should have continuity between grn/ white @ relay and terminal on switch; if not wire has been reworked

Temporary run a wire from relay to temp switch ( disconnect existing grn /wht ) and see what happens

BUT only is functional on CSI equipped cars because as your pic # 13 shows , the passage is blocked by the plate on the runner flange
where the CSI would be on a early car

It is obvious GM only made/machined one Vette TPI base ,85 - 91 and when the CSI was deleted they did not bother to make changes to that
system in the base ; instead just blanked the supply port off

Why do you think GM decided to stop using those holes? Without the CSI, did they discover a better path thru the more open plenum-to-runner-inlet?

As I said ; I believe the IAC air to base holes was for CSI distribution to the individual ports, the early cars just used that for IAC air when the CSI was not operating because it was there

If the IAC air goes thru the plenum and out those small runner holes, how does it get into/thru the TB on 89-91 plenums

There are openings either side of the bores on the back of the TB that put the IAC air into the plenum

89Vette wrote:O.K., So what comes out of the small holes in the base runner tubes? (Qualify if different on CSI vs non-CSI units).

As I have argued for many years; on the early setups IAC air is directed to the CSI then to the holes in base to distribute CSI fuel.
IIRC the later bases are identical still have the holes drilled and passage but the supply is blocked by the plate on the drv side runner that replaces the CSI

If that was the case why do early model TPI's have the IAC passage from TB directly to a passage under plenum that takes IAC air down the tube on drv side runner to the CSI location. Little opportunity for idle air to follow path you suggest

Only have to look at intake to see the obvious.
Holes in floor behind the TB connect to a passage cast on pass side under plenum , connects to the tube down pass side /
connects to EGR valve fed from EGR connection at rear from riser on exh manifold
All TPI have this EGR setup.( F-Bodies source EGR gas from crossover in head )

By your analysis where do the EGR gases enter the intake?

The late model intakes without CSI don't have the 2nd pathway from the TB to drv side .Compare the TB mounting face of the plenums, early vs late ; you will see there is no hole in plenum behind TB on late style

What does "see if it goes to ground" mean?

Are you familiar with a DVM?

If that wire is connected to the block , then that would be the "ground" we are talking about.
Instead of the relay control wire going to ground through the switch as intended it would go through that connection to block
meaning fan would run as soon as key turned on

Would the ground problem be circuit specific to the cooling fan? I don't know where to start to find a ground problem
The fan relay control wire (grn / white ) has to be to ground somewhere.
Unplug the A/c switch and temp switch , put DVM on the grn/ white in relay connector and see if it goes to ground
Then you are going to have to identify the signal wire at the shown connectors to find in what section of the harness ,the wire is grounded

I have checked the relay by removing signal wire input and the fan shut off.

Which wire?

Anyone know the diameter and thread pitch of one of the 4 bolts that hold the throttle body on??

there is no listing for a TPY.

The commonly found online listings are incomplete.
There have been many that have a genuine suffix code ( virgin block ) that has not been listed

Do you have a block casting number, as well?

Casting # will allow you to identify ci and year of production range
3 letter suffix code is the only true identifier that shows original chassis , HP , trans, etc

Many block castings used for multiple applications.
The famous "010" block was used for 2 and 4 bolt engines in everything from 185Hp trucks to 370Hp LT1 Vette
Everyone who has a 010 block says it came from a LT1 so there are now 10 times the number of LT1 blocks out than were ever fitted to Vettes

Wiring the solenoid to ground through the 4th gear switch ( bypassing temp switch ) is a popular way for retrofits.
Gives lockup any time trans is in 4th and release from brake switch without needing control from a manual switch or vac switch as commonly used in some kits

Not relevant to your circumstances but I have also seen other homemade setups where they also wired in the dash switch giving the option of manual lockup in the gears and auto lockup in 4th

Was just looking in the FSM at the YDM model trans used in '90 Vettes
Shows TCC power path; brake switch - solenoid - to ground at ECM.
But something I had not noticed or seen mentioned before is it has a side path to ground through the temp switch and 4th gear switch
giving lockup in 4th gear without ECM control ( once temp switch closes )

btw, what is a Renegade ?

The greatest automotive product since Otto invented the 4 stroke petrol engine according to "some" especially the OP

ben73 on CF got impressive results with it over his X Ram equipped 383 but he has 5 years of comparison data to back up his results
