<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4> I
don't know if you're cognizant of the recent thread on the SyTy.Org List, but
your Product(s) has come in for a bit of a thrashing. I never went for it
much myself 'cause I know how semiconductors, controllers, and such fail and I
just wasn't getting the classic symptoms.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4>
However, the ECM-Pros on the List kept insisting I had a bad EPROM-- or defect
in your <STRONG><FONT color=#800000>10-n-1 Switch</FONT></STRONG> and claimed I
was wasting my time trying to isolate defective engine sensors and such.
Unfortunately, it looks like they might have been on the RIGHT TRACK all
along!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4>Yesterday, I finally
tore-into the under-dash computer and tried to remember what I did in there more
than 6 years ago. I removed every electrical connector and super-cleaned
each pin/socket and then I removed your STG Chip-Interface on the MEMCAL.
I tested start/run on a slightly warmed-over engine in 70° weather and got
slightly smoother results <EM>WITHOUT</EM> your Interface PCB/EPROM. So I
left the cable and dash-controller and PCB/Chip out of the car and buttoned back
up with your "STG" EPROM still on the MEMCAL back.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4>Went out for food and
the thing's running as <STRONG>bad</STRONG> as ever-- for about 7 minutes.
Then once full-warm-up is achieved everything is PERFECT! This situation
has been deteriorating slowly for the past 3 months and I've changed
<EM>EVERYTHING</EM> on the motor except the ESD module (which would only affect
my start-up in any case) and the EPROM. I don't have a spare or my
original stuff around where I can find it. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4>I keep getting a Code
44. I used to think the IAC was hunting all over like crazy but have come
to realize SOMETHING IS <EM>SHORTENING</EM> FUEL-PULSES DURING COLD-RUN
BATCH-FIRE SEQUENCES, i.e., only when the engine hasn't been run and the weather
is "cold." With the engine starving for gas it's only managing to tell me
I'm running LEAN... gee, thanks a lot!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4>WHAT DO I NEED TO DO
ABOUT THIS? Should I junk that STG EPROM and swap it for the 9722E chip
left on your PCB or send it in for reprogramming or WHAT???</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
