Is it possible to hook a laptop up to a stock ECU and reflash/tune it? I know the cables and program for the computer probably wont be cheap, but its something I wanna try playin around with if it is possible

Thanks for any help,
Mike

 

Everything I read says that the newest stock Eclipse ECU (coupe uses the Eclipse ECU right??) that can be programmed is the '95 with the EEPRom chip plugged into it. That chip can be re-programmed with a PRom reader/writer (old school computer stuff!)
I have even looked at an odbII cable to laptop, and all I come up with is cables to aftermarket ECU's. This is looking like a dead end, but if you happen to stumble on something, I'm sure the other guys 'round here will be happy to know

 

cause ive heard of people tuning their eclipse with the stock ECU and if they're the same i just needed to know what cable to buy and what program i need....and i have a mac..will this be a problem?

 

You need the Tactrix cable and a good bit of knowledge. There is a free program for the ECU flash but I forget the name. There were people on 2gstratus and club3g flashing ECUs as a service but not anymore.

Tactrix cable is about $100

 

alright..thanks for the help
