Message: [QUOTE="TARM, post: 674274, member: 578"] Guys I made it to Texas. But in the minivan. There just was not time to go get the truck pcm from anyoneand get there. I have to say i never bothered till now to understand the relationships between things luke PATS GEMS etc. Frankly I have never had an issue with them until now beyond the basics like one going bad. I have learned alot and I really appreciate all you guy willingness to help me out. When i get back (3 weeks) I may take some people up on offers as I do have to have this running ASAP when I get back. So the plan as I thought it out on what turned out to be a 20 hr drive straight thru from Winchester VA to Houston Tx is the following: Leave PATS unplugged as that kills the secuirty like completely. Need a new TS chip (Arisley thank you for your offer there but I think Matt is going to take care of me) Will install a Truck PCM as this will kill the PATS sync issue according to you guys that commented. As I understand it is the Xcur PCM looking for the PATS signal key and is freaking out. A truck PCM will not. Install a truck engine wiring harness which in combo with the truck PCM will slow me to switch to the cheaper relay go system vs the $$$$ gpcm of the X. [B]Now a question I just want to see if anyone knows or at least can take an edumakated guess: Do you think the reason the pump kept running with the swapped in X PCM was from it not finding that PATS key it was looking for? My guess is yes as that is what happened with old one before it fried when it threw up the disable code which was from PATS losing sync? What do ya think or know?[/B] In a way I am very excited as this so far is showing my injectors are all good. The IDM to Injectors wiring harness is also good as are the connections. All should be good with the above swaps of pcm and truck harness. I still need to get a IDM HV HF from Dave at swamps. Thanks btw for telling where to disconnect the PATS Dave!! I have been plagued for months with rough running and ism codes. It looks now that the IDM and BWD CPS fixed those as buzz and contribution were finally all clear before things when poof with the pcm and chip. For the first time in a long time I may actually have no trouble codes that should not be there. I can reinstall the resistors and even those will be gone as well. Then I can get to enjoy driving and doing small upgrades that only have it down for a day or two each. The kind of stuff I enjoy. [/QUOTE]
