I just added Bosch Ion windshield wipers, should I tune for them?

yea and put a ford tune in ur chevy then youll have real power lol

 

[fiveohhfox]

maby look into the tweecer to tune ur car,,my engine is stock and i definetly felt a diference in the tune,downfall is u need the knowledge to do,but if u know about engines id recomend it,,a tune could only mean 2-3 horses but on worked engines could result in a lot more.,plus it also has a datalogger so u can record ur drives or quartermile runs an see problem areas, 1 good thing is i can do it myself and not pay anyone else to do it

im prob gonna do a minor tune till i get my heads

 

[fiveohhfox]

There is a different unit for the fox. IF I was ever to use one again I'd get the kit with the logger and Interaq so you have more adjustability.

Back in the day Crane sold the Interceptor and then the Interceptor II which were the early version of the PMS basically.

that price is just crazy lol

It does, that is what the adaptive learning does.

Here are some things to read for those curious on the EEC-IV and how it works...etc.

Thank you for all the links Dave. They are a great resource for those that are willing to learn. I hope that those that ask questions about this kind of stuff take the time to click them.

I'm willing to bet it could run better though, even if you could verify the A/F. Usually with a foxbody you can get good performance without a tune but it all depends on the combo. I tuned a 90 GT with a 311 h/c/i and it was off enough it picked up quite a bit of power and drives much better.

Its just not worth $600 or whatever a tune costs to me. It seems to run better on the street and pulls harder on the street. Still slow as shit on the track though.

Well even a run on a dyno with a wideband would be worth it. Something definitely is strange with that car. What was the whole setup again? Before I spent $$ on a dyno tune I'd go through and make sure nothing else is wrong.

Not sure how I feel about electronic tuning. I paid a lot to have my car done at LaRoccas a few years back and the car drove no different afterwards. The only issue they were able to clear up was my stalling at idle once the car was warmed up (55lb injectors). After a few months the car learned its way around the chip and started stalling again. So after spending $600+ on a tune Im back to square one. Not a happy camper.

If that is indeed the issue, unhooking the battery and clearing the KAM will get you back to the way it was. If you do this and it still isn't right it is something else. Normally the adaptive is set so that it does not store changes anymore like it would normally.

 

[toomanytoys]

Yeah I unhook the battery every now and then to clear it up. I just find it very annoying that I have to do this after spending the money to have it tuned thats all

Yea, you shouldn't have to mess with it like that. If done right you should not have to touch it. You can leave adaptive totally off if wanted, many do this and it may be the way to go with your car.

That should haul really, who did all the work? Was the cam degreed?

 

[toomanytoys]

Maybe one day when I have some extra cash Ill get it done again. First things first. Gotta get my trans rebuilt before it poops on me.

 

[dsblk93gt]

What kind of chip do you have?
