Need help with ecm?
Hey all,
I've been looking at ecm chips for a while. Im not sure what type my ecm chip is. Anywhere i look at one its the PROM chips and when I see videos of people changing them it's just the PROM, but my chip is this long box looking one? I want to custom burn one for the deletion of the egr valve and cold start injector since the previous owner deleted them already... I want a hypertech chip to put in and need to delete the programs off of it. However I'm not sure what equipment I need to delete the programs...and where the heck is the PROM???
Is it in the box looking chip I have in my ecm??
thanks for the help, please ask questions if im unclear.

The ecm uses a 27c128 , you can substitute with a 27c256 or sst27sf512 just watch the chip offsets for a 16k file size.

The prom in soldered into the memcal, a piggyback adapter can by used to bypass it and retain the netress. Or it can be unsoldered and replaced with a newer flash eeprom.its uv erasable but not to cost effective to buy a expensive burner and uv eraser.

However what would I need to burn the memcal chips? Im just looking to alter the data a little on a hypertech chip to erase the egr valve, cold start injector, and cat 02 sensor codes.

Re: Need help with ecm?
Why would you want to delete the o2 malfunction codes ? Read the diy prom stickies or Boostednw has everything needed.

Re: Need help with ecm?
You might do some research on how a o2 sensor and efi works before just disabling error codes.
