I don't mind dealing with electronics, except that so much is "out of reach" without expensive and fancy computers (i.e. problems with the CANBus thing). Fortunately in general they are pretty reliable, but there is an intuitiveness about telling Bill he should have adjusted the accelerator pump and maybe switched to mechanical secondaries etc... I could change my shift point with just some springs, and change my timing curve with a few simple springs and weights and a timing light. SO simple.
In fact I have a Buick 455 which I first fuel injected in 1993, and upgraded in 2001. But almost everything about the system is user-adjustable. I'm not frightened of new technology - as long as I can access it.
I wish that the DIC could display the error code (including CANBus) and some "internal" parameters that would sure help with troubleshooting. The capability is completely there, but GM decided to hide the information so I either have to get all computery or be a slave to their dealership. Arrgh.
