Subject: DML: RE: What to do after PCM is flashed...
When I went to the dealer to get my idle problem sorted out, The tech and I
were looking at the software updates available for my 98 5.2 5spd. The
computer in mine has a part # P56046332 with a flash level of AC. For this
particular computer the 4 degree retard flash level is AG. I'm not sure
when it became available. I have also been told that you cannot go back a
flash level.
