    Hi everyone

    Hi everyone, I'm here to learn and eager to do so after speaking with Mark.I am more than willing to help anyone I can and really appreciate any help I recieve.I have been in the scene of automotive repair for over ten years grew up around many different types of cars and all my family turns wrenches it seems.I however am the only one that really appreciates fuel injection ....probably because I couldnt get a carb to work if it was running when it came in lol...sorry if I say something ignorant as I have learned there are some very intelligent people on here I will say something retarded and my typing is not great either....thank you

    Howdy!

    That's brilliant! Instead of being late because you have car trouble, you can be late because you know the boss will have car trouble! Wish I'd thought of that.

    Here's a tip. If anyone's watching you work with the laptop make sure you frown a lot and hold your chin like you're thinking about solving world hunger. When you start charging for this stuff you'll get extra for all the "hard work" they saw you do.

    Go carefully and make sure you keep a stock chip handy at all times and you'll probably be ok.

    That's how I look when trying to figure out what someone else did to tune before but still don't run right... like early aftermarket chips that raised coolant temp, so car was to add fuel... so car was always in choke...

    Yes I'm serious, found another last week. I now do a compare to stock bin first and if I see no inteligent changes imediatly I look at temp, then if no change just start with stock chip. Much faster then trying to find what's wrong... then tune properly.

    But you forgot, push a lot of buttons, then look of disgust, then a lot of delete buttons and smile...
