    a 2007 ECM is untunable and wouldn't work with your combination.

    It wouldn't know what to do with your injectors, have the wrong cal for your MAF, would want to see a TAC instead of an IAC/TPS.

    It'd either command too much timing and run too lean OR transmission wouldnt know when to shift.

    So, are you sure?

    Absaposilutely sure. Its a MORAD engine setup - something done long before my time . . .I have just been working on fixing it.
    First it was a busted valve spring that I went through hell and high water to diagnose and fix.

    But yeah I confirmed with the previous owners that it was a MORAD engine with an 07 ECM/TCM and 07 Trans.
    Happiness galore over here - luckily one of my trusted mechanic friends is enroute.

    I took off the bypass valve and played with it to make sure it was working, I took off the bypass valve cover thingy that sits on top of the supercharger (has 3 vacuum line connectors on it - one going to the brake boost) to see if there was something amiss.. . but its not clogged, has a little carbon buildup but not clogged. I then (gratuitous / unintended innuendos not intended) made sure there was suction with the vacuum lines - so there is nothing obstruction movement of air...

    FML. . . I am running out of ideas. and my cat keeps getting in front of the computer and I have no idea what I am typing
