great post
can i ask a dumb ? without gettin flamed does the battery "have" to be disconnected for an extended period prior to performing this calibration sequence or will it overwrite existing settings without disconnecting battery |

Hey guys.
When you say disconnect the battery for an hour, ...is this BEFORE or AFTER you drive the car up to operating temp before performing the steps? Please clarify ASAP, as I wanna calibrate this weekend! Cheers!

I would still like to have my question answered Can this procedure be used for an EBI Fairmont with MPFI or is there another way. I realise this is an older car, but really guys that is no reason to ignore me.

I honestly am not sure whether or not it is the same procedure for your MPFI EB1 Fairmont. The only way to see if it really works is to just go ahead and try it and see how your Mont goes after you do it.

Cheers! I think it dosent matter as I you can just disconnect the battery for 1+ hours or even overnight and and then re-connect battery drive around until your Ride reaches operating Temp then immediately Start Calibration

Please clarify ASAP, as I wanna calibrate this weekend! Cheers! I think it dosent matter as I you can just disconnect the battery for 1+ hours or even overnight and and then re-connect battery drive around until your Ride reaches operating Temp then immediately Start Calibration The idle speed seems to sit at a constant 650rpm in D, 750rpm in N...is this NORMAL? P.S. My bro' got one of those resistor-type chips (off ebay) for his Commodore VN...what are your thoughts on those things? (the chips I mean, HA) They claim to modify your IAT so that your ECU thinks constant cold air, and gives you a richer air/fuel combo. The instructions then tell you to idle car to operating temp, switch off, take out your ECU fuse after installing the resistor, leave it 5 mins, then plug it back in, start the car, let it idle for 3-4 mins, turn off car, then restart to reset the ECU for the chip mod. Surely the ECU will then lean out the mix to compensate for the chip mod? Defeats the purpose I think! What do you guys reckon? I can tell my bro' (or there again, I might not Heh Heh)

those chips are a crock... let ur bro buy it and laugh at him...
cant remember exactly.. f**k s**t up tho... senses lots of cold air, makes mix richer to compensate, then oxy sensor detects its runnig rich, then itll try lean the car out, but it still thinks lots of cold air.. so yeh.. i think thats the deal with them being a wothless POS

Ok, he's a Commodore driver ...but blood is thicker than unleaded! i.e. He is my bro', and he's helped me with my ride in the past! Cue: Violins

The resistor mod doesn't effect fuel but it does give you around 4 degrees of timing advance (on falcons anyway) The problem is that it can cause problems and even engine damage if your engine starts to overheat. Far easier and safer just to bump the dizzy forward 4 degrees or so.

I know this will be a stupid question, ...but WHAT is the dizzy & how do you change it?

Distributor, and seeing you have an EF you don't actually have one so it doesn't apply to you. The EF I6's have a knock sensor so the EEC will automatically adjusts its timing to get the best result for the conditions (just running premium unleaded petrol should see some timing increases).

Thanks ED,
Might try the PULP option, leave my bro' with his chip & dizzy. Have warned him about the chip, tho' he says it's worth a try...
