In anticipation of an upcoming Z-tune, I just went under my dashboard and found something that I'm not quite sure I dig.
Let me first say, the car has a DR tuning chip in it and, as I understand, is one of the old-style chips.
Let me follow that up with: I have absolutely zero computer tuning/chip experience.
Now...
The ECM has a prong-looking thing sticking out from the side of it. A friend of mine said he thought that once I pull that pronged thing out, I might need to replace it with an OEM module of some sort (which I do not have).
The pronged chip sticks out from the side of the ECM by about 1/4" to 3/8". You can see that there used to be some sort of sticker where this piece is sticking out...
So...
Can I just pull this chip, unplug the battery for awhile, and it will return to "normal", or do I need to find an OEM chip?
God, I hope that made sense...
