  • diagnostic software OBD I

    I just got a cable from ebay to connect my ALDL to my laptop. What software would you suggest to read all of my info? Where can I access this software? Will I be able to adjust with the cable and wire to alter my a/f mixtures and what not?

            Warning: The information presented below is presented for educational purposes only. Use this information at your own risk. Be aware of your emissions laws and be aware that changes to the car's stock computer chip can cause your car to no longer be compliant with State and Federal emissions guidelines. Furthermore, be aware that changes to a car's stock computer chip can have very serious detrimental consequences to both your car and those individuals in the car as well as innocent bystanders outside the car. OK, with that said, let's get right to it. You want to program your own chips right? Maybe you're sick of paying ridiculous prices for a 'custom' computer chip. Maybe you're sick of having to depend on someone else to get your calibration right. Or, maybe you're just determined to do it yourself. Well, you've come to the right place. Many sites on the Internet go directly into what a PROM is and give you all sorts of technical information that can be very useful once you understand the basics. But, the fledgling thirdgen PROM programmer isn't really concerned with this information. Most of us performance oriented '85-'92 F-Body aficionados already know that there is a computer chip in our car that has certain calibrations for spark, fuel, etc. What we really want to know about custom programming chips is... What will I need? How do I do it? And... How difficult is it? What you need... You need a computer. No big deal there because if you are reading this then you have a computer. You need a piece of equipment that can read and program PROMs. This is most often called a 'Programmer'. This piece of equipment will be utilized to read and program your PROMs. The Programmer connects to your computer through the computer's communication port (COM or Parallel port). When you buy the Programmer it will come with software that communicates with the Programmer. This software is installed on the computer to which the Programmer is attached and it is used to control the Programmer (for reading from and writing to the PROM). Reading PROMs will produce an image of your PROM stored in a file with a .BIN extension (binary). It is this binary file that must be modified in order to change things such as fuel and spark parameters. The binary file is often called a BIN. I use a Programmer called the 'Pocket Programmer' that is made by a company called Xtronics. It is reliable, easy to use, and economically priced. It is also an external unit (you don't have to install it inside your computer). This means that I can take it with me if I need to custom program a chip away from home (like at the local dragstrip!). Pocket Programmer Source: Xtronics PN: I-PP2 Price: $150.00 http://www.xtronics.com/memory/EPROM.htm Be aware that there are many other types of Programmers on the market. Two of the more popular Programmers can be found at the following Internet sites...


            heres some other stuff that you might find help full
            should be able to find all the progarams i have on these sites

                  Fuel usage...

                  Anyone ever think about designing a program that simply takes the injector pulse duration and interprets that real time data into how much fuel has been pushed thru the injectors?? (total spent fuel)

                  I have not worked with freescan or any of the other datalogging software so I am not aware of what is out there. *user thinks outloud* hrm, knowing the flow rate of the injector, and then knowing the pulse width, and then summing the pulses....

                  Ben, I am wanting to do this for my LB6...this IS possible is it not?

                    yea, I suggest just buying the stuff. I'm in the process of making it all and all in all its about the same price if you buy the electonics locally, or you can buy the unassembled kit. but whatever floats your boat.
