[Gmecm] Modify $8D to work on MPFI 3.1L DIS engine

[Brendan Patten]

I actually have already done A1 for support on FREE Scan
 
Mostly I just want to do it to see if I can and to learn the differences
in the ignitions.  I already have TTS Datamaster for $8D, would be nice
to not have to buy another one - say for turbo grand prix would be an
easy route.

Turbo are my eventual plans...if I can get $8D to work, $58 would be
very close.

Hi there!

A quick note -- the $A1 code ('91-'94 3.1V6 VIN T) would be an easier 
choice, and I suspect almost a drop-in.  The biggest changes I can think

of would be to EGR type and VSS type/calibration.  There is support out 
there for that mask, too.  Just trying to save you some work.

Yup, that sounds about right.  Look to recent posts by Shannen talking 
about what changes between a distributor and a DIS system, but if I 
remember correctly the biggest changes are to the initial spark advance 
and the bounds checks.  Shannen's post was much more thorough.

Your answers may be in the $A1 code.  Search for 727_730_A1.pdf or 
something very similar to that on incoming.  BFUZ is the latest 
$A1/manual trans/Federal code for the '94 Z24 and would probably contain

answers to your DIS parameter questions.
