thumbs down.


yes the stock ECU needs to see the narrowband (as well as the clt/ait), else it doesn't handle the idle control well.

I'm not extremely comfortable with my wiring ability ATM. Wouldn't mind going full standalone status if I had a person directing my step by step in the garage.

the only difference is idle control. unplug the stock ECU and you're standlone.

that's the only thing the stock ECU is doing...throwing codes and controlling idle.


what underhood component? the AIT, the vacuum line? the turbo? the hamster wheel?

pull it off and set idle manually. Like a ------ man, thats how they did it back in your daddy's time, so why can't you?

(not much of a riddle there, but I will try harder next time).
