newbe question of the month:
Ok, I just downloaded WinBin, and am looking at the Select ECM File. I downloaded a BIN, for an 87 TPI car and am having difficulty trying to figure out what ECM model I should use.

My selections are:
148.ecm
747.ecm
7730v3.ecm
86GN.ecm
89v3.ecm

or do I need another ecm file to read the TPI data, I know my ECM is a 1227165, but nothing looks remotely familiar.

help!!!

Its a .ECU file that you need. To my knowledge there are no *publicly* available .ECU files for the $32 and $32B calibrations. There is one for the $6E available on the thirdgen yahoo site. That information is in a past post on this board.

How do you get the .ECU files?

1) Download them from the internet. GM FTP site has a $8D and the $6E. Thirdgen Yahoo site has the $6E.
2) Make one. Use the an existing ECU as a template and then make an ECU file for the calibration of your choice.

For the 165 ECM just use the $6E and the ARAP base code. Its the best starting point.
