John, welcome...:cheers:

No worries, ask all the questions you want... but do read your scan/tune tool pdf manuals (and the tutorials), they contain lots of info...:cheers:

What motor do you have...?

First, warm up motor, and allow to idle;
In scantool, select your PCM,
Go into DVT, start CASE Relearn;
Within 10 seconds, you have to increase throttle such that RPM exceeds 4000 or 5000...
you will feel/hear the motor stumble unmistakenly, and...
immediately release throttle and let motor spin down...
when idle has been reached, wait a few moments...
then turn off key and wait at least 15-30 seconds.

If you don't get the stumble, then the relearn attempt did not work.

Cheers
Joe

well i would like to give a big THANK YOU for the welcome,
know what, i forgot to unplug the egr then it ran perfect
but when i do the motor transplant i am glad that i now know where to get help with a relearn.
question, if i change the motor to say a lt1 or anything other than a vortec, i just have to use the correct tune that is posted?

thank you all that enjoy helping others

Not exactly sure what you mean John?
You would need a tune from a vehicle with that motor and operating system..AFAIK.
