Since the printout is 1100+ pages its not easily copied for
distribution. I bought an extra ecm for $100 the expensive item is the
dis module $450 for a good one. Got several bad one, sure wish someone
fixed them.

>>It may be better than *writing* assembly, but makes it close to impossible for us to undo their thoughts. On the ASICs, does this mean that we're stuck using whatever crank reluctor and # cylinders they're originally intended for? In otherwords, with the 7730, you can just change the cylinder select and run anything. If the timing logic is in the hardware, and built for one specific app, doesn't that mean that they're no longer universal?
