I thought at first, am I being trolled? Then I figured f it. I got a spare from my project Eleanor. If this goes sideways (no I'm not the guy who fell for the iPhone charge your battery via microwave), worst I got to loose; nada.

I will report back on this and let you guys know short term and long term.

CRC contact cleaner works great, used to fix TV tuners with it. The ones where your remote control was your feet to change the **** on the TV.


Mine is jerky in low RPMs, going to try this tonight when I leave work

One of the biggest issues with the dorman is that it isn't actually designed correctly. Once you install it you have to turn it (preload)to get the bolt holes to line up so the PCM is seeing some off readings cause the tps and I've or not times correctly and the fact that they are just junk.

Interesting.
I've seen the "blue printing" before. Never tried it yet. Though I did mess with the IVS a little.

If you've tried everything else and it's still jerky, get a different tuner. (If running one)
