  • PCM questions

    So I went junkyard'ing for PCMs today and I come home baffled. Every single place I went to said that the transmission doesn't matter. I dunno if that's right or not so I wanted to make sure. Also, one place claimed that the year didn't matter but I'm confident that that is false since the 98s have fly by wire throttles and 99+ have electronic TBs.

    Some help here please?

    our you looking for a 2nd pcm to send off or something or a specific year.

    I believe 99-02 are the same for the most part, I don't know for sure I am just starting to get into computer tuning crap myself.


    From what I know you it DOES matter if its an auto or a manual. If you had a auto tranny computer in your 5-speed, you woudl be throwing codes for the tranny.

            If you just want to plug it in and go, trans and year both matter. You'll still need to do a case learn, though.

            If you want to reprogram it, only the year matters. Some years are interchangeable, others are not.

              So if I got a 99 auto trans one, i could send it for the tune and they could reprogram it for a 5 speed? that what youre trying to say?

                When they tune it, they may or may not do a full reprogram.

                I would think they would read your PCM, apply the few changes, then write it back. This wouldn't work. The only way that would work is to read your stock pcm data and write it back to the spare, overwriting the stuff that was there.

                It's possible that they overwrite what's there with a whole nother binary, but I wouldn't count on it.

                  If your looking at a TS mail in or another one just drop them a line asking if they do a full rewrite or if you have to have the same basics like trans.

                        TSP sends it to a dealer to have your VIN flashed on it and costs and extra $50.
