I would like to use the winaldl software to run on my car, but I have an 88 TBI. What do I need to do in order to get this to work?
Thanks, Tyler

Sorry, but I have no idea what that means. I know nothing about this stuff. If you could get me any more info., it would be great. Is there any way for me to just go to a salvage yard and get this stuff for my car, or would that require a ton of new stuff? If I have to spend a lot of money on this, I will just forget it and figure things out the old way. But thanks for the help.

He just said you could plug in a new ecm. As in Unplug old ecm, plug in new ecm. You would need to get the VATS disabled. The VATS is that little resistor in the 89-92 ignition key. You've got e-mail
