No it's not. It's bullsh!t. That's my pcm and I'm paying him to write a program for my car...then that tune belongs to me, I bought it. All of this locking and anti-tampering is crap.

 

I did not know that Bry had a fix until I read this thread.
Bry has been a good friend for many years and Ed has been a long distance friend and partner of mine for many years.
I was suprised that I didn't know about Bry's fix.
Just spoke to Bry face to face yesterday. I said, "Bry, I didn't know you had a no-1-2-shift fix. I heard it on camaraoz28.com".
Bry said he had a fix but it's not a code fix, it's a work around with shift points, etc. And if it works, it works. That's good for us OBD 1 guys.

Now honestly, Ed's fix is in the actual GM code that causes the limp mode exactly as Ellis described. This is recent, less than a few months. It's good stuff to have the actual code fix and I hope the OBD 1 world can bennefit from it somehow.

And by the way, I did not test my application yesterday. Bry and I were racing heads up in our impala es eses. I had no opportunity to try a loaded up toque convereter launch. (But my launches from idle are dang hard enough for my taste with 1.69 60' in a 4000 lb boat.)

Hehehe. MY old fix

I had so so luck with it. Worked on some cars did not on others. I tried a PCM of his last month in my car and I was still having the problem.

Ed Found the Table that was actually setting the problem in motion. Hopfully tomorrow I will get to finsh modifing the file with my last tune and can give it a try at the track next race.

good luck all!

 

Is Bryan @ pcm4less out of town??? I need this fix and emailed him a week ago with no response. Thanks Steven

 

thanks for all the input everyone
I'm running a vigilante 0 (~2800) currently but thinking it won't be enough for the new engine
it's either fix the 1-2/limp problem or build a 200-4R (or should I say another 200 lol)

 

Bry should be home. Give him another email
Karl

 

Bryan emailed me back on August 3rd, verifying my order. He said he is waiting for some PCMs so he can send out my updated tune for my fuel curve and for my new 3200 stall. I'm hoping everything goes smoothly. Knowing Bryan, I'm sure it will

 

I had the shift problem for 4 months!! 3200 vig. Bryan tried to fix it with no luck. So I bought Tunercat and went to work on the trans tables. After several tries, I got it shifting beautifully. Under all conditions. Off idle, stalled up, nitrous launches etc.
I almost threw in the towel, But I'm glad I kept trying.

 

wow, your car has come along way. I remember that video from like two years ago. I'llhave to keep you in mind. I have a 3400 stalled converter in my car now and want to get the pcm revised for this mod.

 

Thanks. If you have the shift problem, just shoot me an email and I'll see what I can do.

 

I was hoping you would say that. Im going to try nittos first and then Im going to try the et streets.
