PROM HELP neede
Hey guys not a camaro or bird guy but I am installing a TPI in my 94 s-10 and have some questions for you smart TPI guys
1 I just purchased a 1227730 ecm it is out of a 3.1 grand am, what do I have to do to it to make it work (do i just have to get a V-8 MEMCAL and a prom from a bird or camaro?)
2 On terminal F10 of the ecm(VATS) what type of signal does the computer look for Is it a ground or a voltage value?
3 I am using my s-10 harness , just repinning the harness to work with the 1227730 ecm there is no vats module so do I even need to worry about the terminal F10 If I just use the factory prom??
4 To get around the VATS do I have to get a custom prom?
5 Does anybody have what I need?(Prom or Memcal??)
I have really done my homework on this swap, I have got almost everything figured out except this last thing. I just joined this site cause you guys really no your crap and i found myself surfing your site more than the s-10 sites. Sorry I am not a camaro guy I have always liked trucks. However i did once own a 84 z28 with a 355 double bump motor! Anyways any replies would be greatly appreciated
Please help!!!!
6 Can anyone here make me a prom????

You will need a V8 MEMCAL. Best bet is to buy the correct one for the motor from GM. As for VATs, you may want to get involved in your own PROM tuning. It is a simple change to the PROM to turn off the VATs check. However, once you start doing your own PROMs (cheaper then even one PROM from someone else) you will be able to make many changes, whenever you want or need to.
