Most of you saw my thread on the "other forum" about IAC counts. It started to turn into more of a general tuning thread. The best (or worst) thing I got out of it was that nobody really has a consolidated summary of the code for the LT5's ECM's.
In my free time ![]() ![]() What I'd ask is if you have information, tips, tricks, trials, tribulations, or any advice, post up! I would love to gather as much information as the LT1 guys have wrung out of their ECMs ![]() ![]()

Having said that, I am more than happy to contribute to this thread and answer anybody's questions that I can. If I don't know the answer, I'll look it up in the code. What I have seen a lot are questions like "...such and such isn't in TunerCat...where is it located so I can add it to my definition?..." I don't think it is productive to just give that stuff away. First of all, it's different in different model years, and second it can be dangerous if the person doesn't understand what "such and such" does. Now if a person says, "I'd like to change this parameter to solve this problem, and I think it is located at 0x??. Is that right?" I'll definitely help confirm what you have found. I'd love to get a four or five page thread going on this, so post away and I'll contribute what I can. PS. Have you reviewed this? http://www.zr1netregistry.com/PromTuning.ppt Todd 93 #411 |

There's already definitions($8E, $AF, and $D0, along with the "A" versions for each) for the 90-92 ECMs that I have from Tunerpro. Some of the work has already been done. Unfortunately, they're pretty bare bones, nothing like what Todd has available. We might be able to pick up some additional items by going through the corresponding Tunercat .tdfs and merging the two into a single def file. |

I think the available Tunerpro definitions were made from .tdfs, so they will be very very similar, if not identical.

In that you have the in depth knowledge, here is one of my dilemmas that has pushed me into the wonderful world of ECM programing: I have a PIA surge when I'm coasting down in neutral or clutch in. As I come to a stop, the idle drops very low and sometimes actually stalls the engine. From what I have gathered, it may be related to the IAC follower portion of the code, however, there are no parameters for that in either TunerCat or TunerPro. I played with the DFCO parameters but ultimately simply disabled it entirely to get rid of the popping in the exhaust (and a nasty surge on decel). IIRC, it started happening sometime after installing my headers. I can't be absolutely sure though. I also have a Fidenza flywheel so the rotating inertia is obviously less than it was stock. This is just the beginning of my unraveling of the inner workings of the code. I'm sure I will have even more questions....

My plan is to hit the dyno with a wideband in the next month and play. I am pretty sure I'm running rich but I don't want to pull fuel without making sure I'm staying safe.

I have found the consequence of getting too aggressive with the decay rates. What typically will happen is that on a very quick stop, when the clutch is dipped, the revs will drop too fast and the car can stall. IF the throttle blades are adjusted to high single digits at idle, that is usually enough airflow to avoid the stall. curious, does this situation occur with the stock calibration, or just with a modified one? Do you have a data recording of this event occurring? Todd |

Does the LT5 ECM ( 1990 specifically for me) have any exrta inputs?
on my 89 with 1991 ECM and dash I use an extra input to feed my WBO2 voltage into the ECM and then using info from Craig Moates on Thirdgen I was able to send the data from that extra input to the ALDL stream in place of Battery voltage or such so I could correlate the WB with the ALDL Data Can this be done with the LT5?
