Where can I get the absolute ultimate knowledge on the inner workings of our PCM's. I'm not talking about OBDII codes and whatnot but an understanding of exactly how fuel/spark are applied from a given set of inputs from the sensor suite.

Basically, what I am asking for is all of Ken's and Ken's folks knowledge. No, I have no desire to go into the chip burning business, I just have 'a need to know'.

Absolute knowledge? No one really has anything published on that. You could find the old EEC mailing list, but it covers mainly EEC-4, not much for EEC-5. Or get a Diablo Revolution kit or Superchips Custom kit. Tweecer.com is a good way to go if they have your PCM code (they have a very limited selection).

Thanks Ken, I tried Tweecer, they have nothing for my Navi. All of the chip tuners had to learn from somewhere, where did they?

They buy expensive software, join mailing lists (now defunct), read books and hook up with other tuners.

I'd buy the software and read the books if I knew which/where to purchase. No mail lists that I know of. I am hooked up with you arent I? How about I go into retirement and come down and work for you for free for a couple of months?
