if i get a prom programmer-how hard is it to learn

[Superdave]

How hard is it to learn?

Depends on how many questions you ask.. and we all know you're good for plenty of those


Moates = the best.

when i first went there i thought shop by vehicle was just a heading & there was nothing under it like with list all products, so i had no idea.

as soon as i clicked that it was facepalm like a mofo!

may i ask why you recommend that?

I'd recommend getting this kit too:

looking around a little further-i found this

http://www.moates.net/product_info.php?cPath=73_64&products_id=197

& this

http://www.moates.net/product_info.php?cPath=73_64&products_id=127

if i get both of these will this (and software/prom chips) be all ill need to log/program the obd1 gm proms?

i pulled up all of their products at once & i was just seeing tons of "honda, acura, ford, nissan, etc..." but looking further into it i found the GM listings.

moates seems to be very import/ford oriented & if im going to use a gm ecm that concerns me as to compatibility-that concern may be invalid though.

Go back to the website and READ the content. Don't just skim.

Shop by Vehicle type:

- Ford Pre-2005

- GM OBD1 Pre-1996

- GM OBD2 1996-Present

- Honda/Acura PreOBD2

- Nissan

Man 2 out of 5 are GM... Thats a pretty good ratio...

Import oriented?

Super Dave, Rodney and Chris Wilson are three guys I know using it.

And the J-Body guys love it.

My car is running on a Moates chip.

no i really have no idea what would be my best option as far as one of these goes considering im looking to use the tgp code & work with 90-93 (or 91-93) luminas/berettas/corsicas/cav's with 3.1

Have you looked at Moates www.moates.net ?

The four or five people I know swear by their stuff.

im strongly considering getting a PROM programmer so i can start learning how to adjust values to accommodate for boost, headers, etc... if i get this one:

ill be spending nearly $300 but the compatibility looks very nice, how hard is it to learn to modify the code for boost-aftermarket parts-or for better mpg, is it just a matter a tinkering around with the pulse width & spark advance until you feel comfortable with it or?

id just hate to drop $300 and have this thing sit around unused because i didnt make an informed decision as to whether or not i could learn to tune it in a decent time frame.
