Yes, it's an OBD1 issue, but it really isn't something that had any merit, unfortunately. Just something I thought of while trying to fix my buddy's car, since has a car that originally came with 2.73. Never hurts to come up with new ideas. If they don't end up being of any use, no harm done.

 

Dan, you state you 'fixed' a car. Then you state, "I don't THINK what he was asking has anything to do with it. My reasoning is, if you have truely 'fixed' the problem, you'd KNOW whether what he was asking had anything to do with it. Correct me if my reasoning is flawed, Dan. Also, did the 'fix' fall in line with what you stated earlier, as noted below in bold?

Now Ed Wright has supposedly found a table in the code that has something to do with stall rpm and setting the car into some sort of a limp mode for the trans.

Just looking for an clarification and update.

 

Yep. I think quite a few people on here have.

Right. In my opinion what DOOM was asking has nothing to do with it. That is what I think. I was giving my opinion, not saying that I don't know, or that I'm not sure. Two different thinks.

No.

Are you updated? Everything clarified?

 

My idea of a 'fix' is just that, correcting a flaw, not masking it with 'patchwork'. If indeed EW has found the true cause of the problem, which he very well may have, that would make any 'fix' in your mind, actually what I stated above, just masking the problem. BTW, I was entertained with the way you can twist words. However, I'm don't spend time on the forum tobe entertained!!! I did appreciate the response though.

Are you updated? Everything clarified?

I don't find a need to bother commenting on the attitude that prompted or was at the source of that comment/close. I believe we understand one another.

 

arnie, not trying to jump on you or anthing, but Dan K was right when he said that it my idea doesn't have anything to do with the problem of the OBD1 high stall fix. I've fixed the problem on flyinZ's car, so my idea was unforunately not relavent. There's no point in arguing over it.

 

arnie,
Relax. I didn't mean anything personal by it. Twas just a misunderstanding with the whole think thing.

And you are right, if EW did find this table then the tricks that we have been using to get around the no-shift are just a mask to fix the real problem. But if it works...
Sad thing is I don't think EW would tell anyone the address he's editing, and since I haven't heard back from TC regarding this I'll assume he hasn't found anything. Not suprising though, considering I didn't give him much to go on.

 

Ah well, we will probably eventually know in the future. We just need to find someone with a Ed Wright file, decode the thing, and compare the hex code.

For now, it's just a matter of making sure the shift points, final drive ratio, and rev limiter are dead on for OBD1. Not always fun, but hey, it works.
