  • using Camaro 94 ECM manual transmission in camaro 94 automatic trans

    What adjustments do I need to make in order to use a manual transmission computer in an automatic Camaro 94 V6?
    I start the car and the engine misbehaves
    with the original computer of the car it was behaving totally well so I discard a problem in engine and sensors
    Maybe there is something I must move in the reprogramming of the computer?

    Let’s back up a little bit. What is the issue that is happening with the car? Did you already change the computer? If so, why?

    When you say the car misbehaves, what exactly is it doing?

      the car had no problem I ruined the ecm using winflash
      the ecm i got for its replacement was bad too, it managed to start the engine but it worked terribly and it sends me a fault code 93 PCS CIRCUIT (current error)
      What I did was pass the flash chip to the ecm that it ruins, but it continues to say no to the ecm and surprisingly to the ecm that I removed the flash chip I can still do a scan and even winflash is able to recognize it
      for obvious reasons now I can't write to it because now it doesn't have its flash memory, I'm thinking that maybe the processor was damaged or maybe an electrical component like a resistor or capacitor and that's why the connection was interrupted ruining the ecm

        I discovered that my ecm has 2 flash chips and that I will probably change the good chip leaving the bad chip,
        with an eeprom burner should I reprogram the bad chip but a question arises, should I program the 2 chips equally or just reprogram one and the other leave it unscheduled?

          Unfortunately I don't know much about the 3.4L tuning. Have you tried reaching back out to the company who has the software to flash your ecm? Is it tuner cat?

          I know for the 3.8L the only way to make a manual pcm work in an automatic car is to do a "write entire" and I believe you also have to write in the vin if I am not mistaken
