98's (Locked)

[red12secz28]

Will version 7.2 be able to tune 98 and 97 cars? I got a cammed 97 vette that doesn't want to idle. Trying to patiently wait,

So how are them 98s coming

Are the 98 users able to read a 98 PCM? I haven't been able to...

If not, can a "read only" be enabled on the next update for us to see what we have?

Thanks!

Reading and flashing 98's has not been implemented yet.
Once we get 7.1.9 out we will get the 98's reading/reflashing working.

The last 3-4 weeks have been spent fixing unexpected issues with reflashing some vehicles and implementing full reflash to enable our customers to use the EFILive custom operating system modifications.

I know that does not help the 98 guys at all, but our committment has always been to get the 99-05 PCMs working correctly, then implement the 98's.

Unfortunately we have suffered un-planned delays getting the 99-05's sorted out. That has pushed back the 98 delivery.

The 98' are at the top of the priority list after the current issues and full reflash are sorted out.

Is it difficult to put a 99 + computer in a 98 car ? Maybe impossible, but maybe plug and play ?

The PCM connector pinout is different I believe.

completely different, and while a couple people have done it -- it definitely couldn't be fun repinning two 80 hole connectors...

Wonder how many pins have to be swapped, I would rather have a 99+ PCM even if the 98s were working right now to get the extended MAF table and a couple other things. The clusters are different and so is the fuel tank sender but I notice in flashscan you have access to the fuel guage calibration table so maybe that can be fixed. Plus the temp gauge is setup different, dont think thats a big problem though, and I'm sure a few other things are involved also.

I have thought about trying it..

Thanks for the reply's.

So if I had a 99-02 PCM and harness ? Anyone done this here ?

There was a thread on LS1tech about putting a 99'+ PCM ina 98' car. I think it basically came to a decision that it was not worth the effort...


Being a 98' owner myself, it sounded promising, until I saw all the work/changes that would be involved....


I think I'll just try to keep patiently waiting....that and stealing my buddies HP Tuners... :wink:
