I'm not sure about the gold. I don't think there's anyone who has successfully switched from blue to gold. until there is i won't worry about it.
i though that was the sohc, but i guess not. i'll see if i can find it.
i figured out why it wasn't communicating. turns out the com port settings on my laptop were wrong. If you are running on windowsXP and don't have a 9 pin serial off your laptop you'll likely have the same problem. first, you'll need a usb to serial adapter since that's what the support tool cable needs. Unfortunately, you can't simply use a regular usb to usb cable. I used IO Gear's adapter (Model # GUC232A) but others have used a cheaper Belkin's made adapter (FSU-109) with success. to fix the communicating problem go to control panel>system>device manager and find the usb>serial adapter under "ports (COM & LPT)," click on it and change the com port setting to COM1.
here's the emanage installed and a screen shot that didn't come out too clear:
here's a better one, although i wasnt connected to the emanage so the map trace and real data display functions weren't working. also the load points arent marked. btw, you have a choice using throttle, airflow, or if you have a pressure sensor, pressure based load.
there's a "sub injector" table that controls two separate injectors; any reason why I can't use it for load and rpm based alcohol or propane injection?
also, there are two tables for controlling the main injectors, "airflow adjustment map" and "additional injector map". together they can control injectors up to 150% bigger. Since the "additional injector map" requires a harness connecting to each injector as opposed to only cutting the maf signal, I assume it controls the injectors after the ecu and leaves the maf voltage alone. therefore, if i adjust from that table only (i'd only be using 50lb injectors anyways) and leave the "airflow adjustment map" zeroed out, the ecu should see true mafs voltage and engage closed/open loop like it would normally, right?. i'm i in denial?
