Just a little rich?

Mid-Life Quandary
Holy " Burn the tail pipes" Batman ......... :Y
It seems that a stock L burns as rich as Bill Gates bank account.

What can I do to lean it just a bit?

TIA ......... :tu:
 
ooooooooo Smack talker will be funky walker...

Found out my chip wasn't reburned for the 90mm MAF on there, hence, funky A/F... It's off getting reburned now, feel free to come down to Speedworks so I can shut that hole in your mouth when I trash your '01 by at least 15/10

moooohahahhahahhahahha :eek: :D :tu:
 
Ohh forgive me maple leaf racer, they just send out chips and "forget" to program them correctly. That makes me feel a lot better :D Do they offer a flip chip maybe I can get one and they can forget to program one side for NOS :tu:
 
Whatever... Mistakes happen... I forgave him, you should too.

Where's that 395hp come from? I thought your run was 375/475? I must've missed one of the sheets...

Jeez, What a day

Select THIS_THREAD.ALL_MESSAGES, USER.Logan, USER.L8-Apex
Sum (USER.Logan + USER.L8-Apex) as FUNK
From THIS_THREAD, USER
Where USER = Logan or USER = L8-Apex
LEft Join USER.Logan + USER.L8-apex
Group by "What_the F**K" ;t

So, not much I can do except change the chip.
Can a stock chip be reburned? I don't think I have ever seen this question. Call me ignorant, but I'm gonna ask.
;t :confused:
 
Mark,

There is no stock chip. The CPU has a the stock program and a port on the backside to put an aftermarket chip which can then alter the stock computer settings..
 
No ones perfect..not even the tuners...the tunas say you "must have a chip" after installation of the valve cover breather......bahaaha...NOT! :m I have Zero Chip Status and call in a chimney sweep at least once a week...not once have I set off a code....breather cap....to cause a lean condition....naw :rolleyes: These trucks run richer than "death by chocolate"...and that rocks :Y
 
I wonder what would happen if a chip with NO program was placed in the memory expansion slot. . . . Since there would be no overrides, would the computer run the normal program????:confused:

Uhhhhhh and I think that was an outer join or something:h
 
John,

FYI, my truck must have a stick up its *** because when I install my breather cap I get a Service Engine Light after about four drives. With the JDM chip burned for it, still get the SES. I sent back for reburn to fix the problem and STILL get a SES light. I guess on some trucks that little piece of **** $30 filter can piss a CPU off :mad:
 
If it did manage to start it wouldn't be pretty :) By installing something on the J-3 you are basically replacing a portion of the on board ROM. The PCM "looks" to the chip (or other J-3 device) for that area of memory as defined by the device on the J-3. Most EEC-V chips have a 32k chunk of bank 1 in them. Ford "mixes" in data addresses with programming so besides changing things like fuel, timing, etc, the chip holds a bit of programming.

My experience with breather caps is about a 50/50 chance. Mine likes it but I had to tweak a cutomer's truck to run with it. Easy fix though.
 
Coool

Welll!!
That's great, I learned something ...:tu: Thanks Sixpipes!!
All this time I figured that a "stock" chip was being replaced.
:confused: Why, if Ford actually provides a port for a after market chip, do they (in some cases) void a warrenty because of these type of mods? ..... jeez :m

Hey Logan, don't get too confident just because of a Left Join, that very well could have been a "nested" statement ..
:rolleyes: Hummm, would that have made you drive backwards?? :Y ....lmao

SCC2000L - I looked at breather caps as well a few weeks ago after spending a Saturday at Terry's shop. And found they recommended a chip.

L8-Apex - Can you enlightn us on the tweak you made for the breather cap? :tu:
 
The port is not there for a chip, people figured out what was going on with the J-3 and came up with chips and other add on devices.
