>Hello,  My name is Doug Hardin and I'm new to your list.  I hope this

>but I just can't stand it anymore, I've got to add to the discussion.  I am
>an Electrical Eng. (please don't hold that against me...haha) and I work in
>a coal fired power plant.  My main specialties are PLCs and controllers
>etc.  So it makes sense that I would want to mess with my car too!  I' ve
>got a 88 Chevy z24 with a 2.8 and 188K miles on it.  Been a great car, but
>I think it can be better.  namely a little more HP.  I noticed that the
>group wanted to disassemble some of the V6 stuff so I'm am voluntieering
>for that job.  I noticed that a V6 bin (AZTY) is on the FTP site has anyone
>disassembled or hacked it?  My car is bin ARDC.  I have been hacking it on
>my own for about a year and a half.  I got most of my information from the
>ECM guy's page and learned much from the 727 hacked chip he has there.  The
>code is similiar in many ways.  It was a huge help.

>moved into my neighborhood.  He said that he used to work for GM.  Anyway
>he was not directly involved in the ECM stuff but was close by to the
>engineers.  He was going to call his friends for me and get the source code
>for my Z24.  He said that those guys all wrote their own software for each
>car depending on who got assigned to what car and that is why the code
>varies between models.  He also said that in those years all of the bin
>files were hand assembled....no higher language was used.  He also said
>that the newer models will be using a new seimens chip and a totally new
>language that they have developed.  It's going to get harder on us not to
>mention OBDII.
>     Anyway I will be willing to share with the group what I find out on
>the V6 bins, since you all have been so helpful to me.
