I wonder what would happen if you put a older computer in your truck? I mean

Only way to get it to meet those standards was back off on the compression, lean out the mixture as far as possible, and advance the timing as far as possible. That's exactly what they did. It all adds up to nice little pinging problems and a huge descrease in power. From what I can gather the PCM flash corrects the pinging problem because it leans the mixture out a hair more and retards the timing a touch, that way it stills meets the emissions standards and you don't have as much spark knock, problem is you still got a little less fuel in there so you lose any nutz it started with. So, yeah you're pretty much right Steve, as far as I can gather '99 is just about the worst for these problems though. > > -Batman > > --- steve preston <steve239dak@yahoo.com> > > wrote: > >I think what it is on these 97+ Daks,is that they are > >trying to get the engine to produce such little > >emissions on crappy gas,that performance does not > >compare to earlier versions.Seems like,anyway.That is > >the only thing that makes sense to me,since pre 97s > >don`t seem to have any performance problems. > > > == > -Batman > '99 CC 4x4 5.2L 5spd sprt wht > 10" X 2.75" K&N Open Element > Turbo II muffler > > _____________________________________________________________ > FREE 6MB ZombieWeb E-Mail Account At http://www.zombieweb.com > > Report spam to spam@zombieweb.com
