            I tried it out and it blew a 'Check Engine Light'. I had the codes read, which were a p0315(Crankcase Variation-CASE learn required) and a p0806(Clutch Position circuit- Clutch Calibration required). The car will 'Cold Start', but once the car is run and then turned off, it will not start again. I have a guy that will correct the issues, I just have to take it to the shop. I will probably do it next week.

                Will do! I can tell you this, from the short test I did with the ECM, you can feel the difference in power.

                    I believe Nikki just needed the CASE learn, which is normal. When I talked to Chris, about 2 weeks ago, he said the 'Clutch Position' code was unusual.

                      Do these require premium fuel?

                          Yuck, I want a tune that does not require it, and that is why I want a Power Tuner or equivalent.

                            At this point your going to have to ask yourself do I want performance or MPG, Because your not going to be able to pull much power out of it just playing with fuel.

                              There are a lot of things you can do to a computer that do not require premium fuel. Yes I know it will not max out the performance on the motor.... A tuner gives you the option, and it allows you to switch tunes so you can run 93 if you want etc etc etc....
