Tunercat demo version question

If I download the demo version of Tunercat would I be able to adjust my idle speed? That's the only thing I want to do for now.

Nope...

You need the $EE def. file to do anything on our cars... The only def. file that comes with the demo is for a truck i believe?

that is correct. You will need to purchase the $EE/$EEB def file. Definitely a good investment.

Will I only be able to adjust the idle with those files or make other changes? How much do they cost? I could not find them on tunercat's web page.

Thanks,

Dave

Free scan can adjust idle speed, at least while it is connected. I am not sure if it writes new idle speed to ECU or not.

Try it and you will know and you can't beat the price.

Re: Tunercat demo version question

i believe the def files are 20 bux each...

and you can change a HUGE number of things once you have the files...

the site will list all the different things you can edit/change... its quite a long list, and you need to be fairly knowledgable in regards to what your doing or you could mess things up pretty quick

But there are a number of sites with info to help guide/inform ppl on what all the different aspects of tuning are/do...

TONS of reading and learning available if you poke around and don't mind spending the time
