Tune in chico?
Does anyone know of a place to get a pcm tune north of sacramento? I replaced my fuel pump and iac and my pcm was tuned to their shittiness, so now im running very rich (tailpipe test + code 45) at idle. I haven't gotten a scan tool hooked up yet so i dont know the BLM, etc.
I'm trying to not have to drive very far because it doesn't have stickers. I guess i could get a TOP now that i have a failed test but id rather not pay more. although then i could drive it around NOW. ****.
anyway, are there any shops in butte county that tune a speed density? Or any people in chico with a prom burning setup who have some free time and a desire for money?
Or should I give props to old bob and run my car by ostrich?

There isn't anyone in Butte county at all. I have all the prom burning stuff to burn chips, but I do not have the knowledge. I am down to get together with you and learn, as I need a better chip too.
I would just get an illegal smog. That is what I did.

Re: Tune in chico?
who has power rangers?
i want it to pass smog anyway . . . if its throwing a code it obviously should be dealt with.
although it idles better than ever before
Oh and I think i'd be down to get together and have a crack at doing it ourselves. I was planning on getting some quotes (if i could find anywhere) and comparing to the cost of just investing in the equipment and learning myself. Of course there is still the whole learning part, and I've got quite a few demands on my time.

Re: Tune in chico?
I got all the time in the world for the most part. I don't have a job anymore. You still have my number? If so, lets get together and try and figure it out.
