Re: Ebay Programmer, chip

Those are both basically a 10K mod that you can do yourself if you have just basic electronics. I think the total cost if you go that way is around 15-20 bucks. You should be able to do a search and find the instructions.

Awesome!!
I would like to learn more about this. From what I see is a standard switch, relay with a pot, and that is stuff you can get at Radio Snack for less than $10. The trick is to match the correct pot resistance and find out where to shove the black and white wire.

Anyone know where these attach to add performance? Certainly I don't see paying $50 for common parts. Nothing to program.

10k Resistor Mod
A 10k ohm resistor will raise the injection oil pressure approximately 200 psi. Increased injection pressure will deliver more fuel and will deliver more fuel sooner. This increase in fuel deliver and advance will yield higher combustion temperature but your exhaust gas temperature will remain almost steady. Such an efficient burn has it's down side. It will cause an idle rougher than stock. It may also cause the production of nitrous oxides. Thermal efficiency is a function of the high(absolute)temperature divided by low(absolute)temperature. In other words, the higher the peak combustion temperature in comparison to the exhaust temperature the more efficient is your engine.

Parts Needed
digital volt ohm meter
10k ohm resistor (1/2 or 1 watt)
2 fine copper wires 4" length
black tape
Procedure
1 Solder wire on resistor
2 Identify injection pressure sensor (on front of driver side cylinder head)
3 Test for voltage with key on and engine off

IPS has 3 connections:
+4.97V
+0.003V
+Output
Turn key off!
Connect resistor between output and 0.003V (do not cut any factory wires)
Slide fine wires into plug and reassemble
Cover bare wires with tape


I used a 1 watt .05 rated 10K resister. Soldered a 3" piece of wire on each side of the resister slide heat shrink over the entire part of the resister and about 1" of wire. Leave about 1" of the wire soldered on inside the heat shrink and seal each end to be sure with electrical tape. Then I stripped the wire back 1" I pulled out of the wire 5 strands and cut the rest away. Looking at the connector it looks like 2 eyes and a mouth put 1 wire in the right eye and the other in the mouth Blue/stripe and grey/stripe wire. I put the plug back into the ICP about 20 time until the check engine light did not come back on. If the check engine light comes back on you still have a open circuit. Just push it into there harder or pull it a part and put in again until no Check Engine Light comes on. It will if your work if you keep putting it in the plug and it seats.

REMOVE BEFORE DEALER SERVICE

BAZ.

Here ya go, ART

Re: Ebay Programmer, chip

Mine cost about $.60 for the 10K mod. The wires go in the right eye and mouth of the ICP connector. However, you may need to try other resistances as mine lost power above 2000 rpm with the edge evo on III. Here is a link to how to do it http://pages.prodigy.net/stevebaz/_i...az/index3.html

Re: Ebay Programmer, chip

drivers side head near the front of the engine on top. you cant miss it as it is the only sensor there. the pluge just has 3 wires in it. looks like a smiley face. good luck
