[Van Setten, Tim @ ACSSD]

That LINK ECU is the older one (about 1999) that will not talk to a PC.
Only a hand-held programmer will work with that.

In 2003 it was upgraded to what it called the LEM4 or version 4 (LINK ECU
Software marked D42V4).

As for you, your ECU can be upgraded to the version 4.  It is just a chip
change.  (They use a MC68HC11).  The newer software also has the ability to
"Self Tune" the fuel map if the O2 sensor option is turned on.  Since the
newer chip can talk to a PC (using the serial LINK or USB LINK), the PC can
save your configurations and all the different mappings you can come up
with.  It can still be programmed by the hand programmer.
The software for the PC is free from LINK's website. (PC LINK Version 2.5).

If you want to upgrade, I can get you that information......Tim.

I doubt the serial liunk will work for that. You will
probably need the hand held programmer, but you should
call Link to confirm.
