If anyone needs a copy of the BIN files to reprogram corrupted chips, I have them and I'll email them to you. As for a EPROM programmer, the Pocket Programmer 2 will do all GM chips, both EPROM and FLASH (at least 82 thru OBD1, I don't know if it will work with OBD2, I don't really know much about OBD2). It's $150, and it works quite well. The website is www.xtronics.com. Also, if you plan on desoldering your chips, make sure you have a high temp soldering iron, and as Madwolf said, make sure you have a very fine tip. And, does anyone know a good place to get a high temp soldering iron, mine just died on me and I haven't been able to find anything other than the 100/240 watt guns at Radio Shack?

Oh, forgot to add where to get the sockets for the PCM. Go to www.digikey.com and the part # for the sockets is ED80009-ND. They are pretty cheap, but they will charge you a $5 handling charge for any order under $20. I think I paid like $12-$13 for 2 sockets when you figure shipping, handling, and the sockets.

Pocket Programmer.............ordered $149.00

sockets......10 of them.........ordered $17.00

1/2 OBD 1 cable...................ordered $40.00

OBD 2 calbe..........................already have

tunercat................................already have

laptop....................................already have

freescan.................................already have

datamaster...........................thinking about it.


I'm getting ready!

ps. I already have an OBD2 cable, so I only needed 1/2 of the OBD1 cable to program other cars. From the connector to the car.

Whats a good price to charge some else for a program on their car? I have a couple of folks around here who want me to program their cars for them.

Thanks

Re: Lost my PCM again using TunerCat....

fried another one.

Ordering the PLCC adapter for the pocket programmer today. (If I can find it)

Does anyone have the diagram for the benchtop harness. I'm going to search for it now, but just in case if I don't find it, someone post it for me or send it to me at dmoss69@yahoo.com. And with the parts to put one together.

THanks

Re: Lost my PCM again using TunerCat....

GOOD GOD!

Which adapter do I need. There must me several thousand of these things out there.

I know I need he 32 pin on one side for the chips, but do I need the 24, 28, or 32 pin for the programmer side? I have the pocket programmer2.

Part numbers would be great.

Thanks,

D Moss

Re: Lost my PCM again using TunerCat....

I know I'm killing yall with all this, but I found the website for the benchtop wiring harness, and the part numbers here are no longer correct. I can't order the stuff cause I'm not sure what to order.

Not only that, but the d-sub connector that it's talking about, isn't that the plug for the back of the pcm, or is this the plug to go into my cable that I use for programming my car. I was pretty sure that I was going to need that cable since it had the adapter already wired into it.




(1) Crimp type cable mount D-sub, 25 pin Female, 910-4770, $.62 / ea
(15) Gold Pin Sockets for above plug and for PCM pins, 910-4772, $.09/ea
(1) Plastic hood for D-sub connector, 910-1536, $.72/ea
(1) 13.8 VDC Regulated Power Supply, 910-0442, $31.95/ea
About 8-10 feet of 24 or 26 gauge wire


If someone out there knows what I need or the correct order numbers for this stuff, post it and I'll order it.

Thanks a million.

What source did you use for the '1/2 OBD 1 cable' ?
I've have the opposite situation. I have the complete OBD1 cable assembly, but could use the '1/2 OBD II cable', as with you, from connector to vehicle.

Re: Lost my PCM again using TunerCat....

I had ordered my whole OBD2 connector as you did at first, then needed the other half of the OBD 1 to read and communicate with my truck.

I called andrew at AKM cables, and just ordered the 1/2 cable that goes from the adapter to the port under the dash. It was around $40.

I'm sure you can make one with ease, I was just in a hurry. I'll probably start making some cables and things soon.

Re: Lost my PCM again using TunerCat....

I spent ten minutes on the phone with the guy who makes the pocket programmer; we both had no clue about the package type of the chip.

So i'm also searching for the data file for the AN28F512 intel flash chip.
One guy in this thread has it tho just need to get in touch with him.
