    Curious about what all is in the memcal?

    People say that memcal's have a cylinder count so v8 memcal goes with a v8 ect. But what else is there and what does that stuff do?

    I can think for four basic functions to the Memcal. Cylinder Select, PROM Chip, Knock Filter, and Limp Home Mode.

    What does the knock filter do? I have several quad 4 memcal's and a couple have different numbers/letters on them so wondering if I could use the wrong one or wrong year?

    Can you post the Broadcast Code (BCC) from the Memcals? Usually the BCC's have four letter codes, like for a TBI BCC - AMUR.

    1 is AMNP from 1990 grand am, ANLP, ANZF, are what I can remember. Will the memcal be different from standard to auto transmission? I have a problem with knock retard staying on once it trips knock counter until key is cycled off then back on. I have a standard trans and if I miss a gear it sets off knock counter.

    1990 2.3l quad-4 8707 $8B

    when I say "they have different numbers/letters" I mean on the circuit board next to chip

    AMNP - 1988 4.5 V8 TBI
    ANLP - 1990 Quad 4 Auto ECM 1228708
    ANZF - 1989 Quad 4 Auto ECM 1228708

    I think you will need:
    ANZJ
    ANZK
    ARAL
    ARAM
    BAWA
    BAWC
