Thought it was an important idea to be broadcast
For those of you using the Land Rover fuel injection I would like to let you know of some new developments. Some very clever folks with TVR's have broken down the code and reverse engineered the ECU. We now have the ability to read our ECU while running and those who have the brains can even remap the ECU for the cost of a chip burner and a few EPROM chips!
For cheap Ba...s like myself this is amazing. You can order a USB to TTL cable from Digikey, program the USB. Make up a simple plug to replace the Rover TTL 5 pin white diagnostics plug and you are off. I was able to see my sensors, clear my fault codes, see what map I am running, what cells I am in etc. Total costs about $37 CDN with shipping ($8) of the cable. Oh and Fed Ex from Digikey was out of this world, less than 18 hr! For the CDN folks that's unheard of.
Have a look at the links. Steve Sprint has given us all the TVR Maps and also updated them to 6250 rpm and the last LR update "Pride" before they switched to the GEMS system. Now I already mentioned I am cheap so I wont be burning my own chips but there are folks who will burn one for us at less than $25. As I have a strange stumble under medium acceleration I plan to try out a new chip. While MS is a great alternative 90% of what we need can be gotten from our 14CUX and Rover Gauge.
