1227165 ecu with custom code much better than stock ecu. (Page 17/26)

What engine are we looking at? Meeting those criteria is likely going to need and OBDII style PCM. If SFI is not needed, the 16197427 can be setup do work the way you want and still is OBDI and uses an EPROM. The code for this PCM is capable of PFI and wideband O2. It has even been hacked to allow the use of a MAF sensor for tuning if so desired. I have not got into OBDII much, so I am no help in that arena. Phonedawgz or others could point you in the right direction.

I just completed a 600 mile round trip this weekend using the 1227165 code/NVRAM. This was mostly mountain driving, up to and including Vail Pass to Grand Junction in Colorado. I averaged about 30+ MPG. There was nothing special with the tune and there was the several hours of idling and stop n’ go when Interstate 70 was closed due to a mudslide near Parachute. No special tuning, no lean fueling mode, and very little showing off for the audi's and bimmers. Lowest MPG I attained was 25, highest was 38. Not bad for an 86 SE with 4 speed at an average of 72 MPH most of the trip. Good fuel economy and still enough power to pull all but the steepest sections of highway in high gear.

If you can't have fun, what good is it?!

Okay, I'm stuck...How do you get these fricken pins out of the connector? Do I need a special tool?

There is a special tool, but I just use a straightened-out paper clip. Push the lead into the connector from the back, push the paperclip in the hole (above the hole where the ecu pin goes in), and then pull the lead out. It might take a couple of tries before you get the hang of pushing back the lead's locking tab with the paper clip.

Chet - what WB O2 sensor and controller are you using. Been shopping for one and am not sure what to buy. Your suggestions would be appreciated.

this is what I found so far from Moates.net: the LC-1

Edit: found them on sale here $50 less at Tuner Tools
