Thread: regal top swapped problems

A lot of times on the internet people like to watch others get bashed on. Idk why, buy its true.
Also, there isn't really a professional attitude or way of doing things on the internet.

Also, since this is the internet, it's kind of hit and miss as to whether what a member suggests be looked at or replaced or fixed is actually the problem or not. It's much easier to track down a problem and fix it when you can see and touch the car rather than getting someone else's perspective on what the issue is.

That being said, I hope people can help give enough input and advice for you to get your car working properly.

Sven how do you know that the tune is junk? You aren't driving his car, you haven't looked at a bin of his tune so without doing either you have no real way of telling this. DH pretty much what I just told Sven...
/end rant

On a side note, since your car is a 97 a lot of your readings are going to be backwards or negative numbers since your car is a 97, my 97 GTP showed a lot of stuff in negative numbers.

Sorry Slick, haven't been on in awhile. To reply, ZZP told me when I top swapped my 97 GP GT that a proper tune would be impossible. That's how I "know" the tune is junk. Yet, they still offer a mail order tune... Until TinyTuner became available, there was no way to change the transmission type in the vehicle...even DHP couldn't do it. I researched all aspects. Chances are they used HPT and plugged SC info into a NA file...like most people do. And what happens when the PCM sees boost on a NA table? It freaks out...kinda like his car is doing. These are obviously all things I haven't seen or could have possibly dealt with personally to know what's up. I admit I still haven't read through all of this thread...nor do I really have the time. I'm also not starting some sort of sh!t storm with the OP or DH...I simply don't have time to deal with it. I would personally try a properly set up PCM and see if it fixes it...that's all I was saying.
