Idle too rich.

Yes, to keep yours as a backup then you will need to get another memcal. There are a few options, one would be to use the NVRAM (even without a bin like 12P that allows tuning over ALDL) and another buy a memcal from a wrecker and reprogram that using a UV eraser and programmer.

The first thing will be to get a read of the current memcal, work out what code it is running and then can sort out the options. If you don't have a programmer to read the memcal, where are you located?

I'm in the western suburbs of Adelaide.

So If I can get the data off the current memcal I may not have to buy the reader and burner? I should be able to use the 12p over ALDL on a new memcal and keep my old one as a spare?...... Just need to find someone to put my current memcal in a reader to get the code... right?

Slowly starting to make sense, thanks 4 being patient.

Im in Adelaide and should be able to help. I'll send you a PM.

The reader/burner (The gq-4x eprom programmer) is worth having when you have the nvram kit. As the nvram kit is a form of ram its always volatile. When its fixed in a car, its nicely stable, but when you are tuning and swapping/plugging chips its likely that at some stage you'll corrupt its contents accidentally at which point having the programmer on hand makes it a quick fix to put your complete last backup on the chip and keep going.

However, at this stage I can give you a hand reading the chip and seeing what you have and we can go from there.
