rockfangd Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 well all i really want to get by aprilis the Hud unit and switch 2nd gen. (FRom jeremy) and the DIS pigtails from crazy k. I cannot find a set in salvage yards. What other cars can i look for the DIS pigtails in, (if there is any other with the blue and black pigtails)? i will just have to worry about the econ after everything is complete Quote
Psych0matt Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 earlier cuttys are the ones to look for the pigtails, but usually if there isnt a DIS still in the car, the pigtails were taken too. Quote
rockfangd Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 yeah as far as i know the ones that have them are 89-92 coupe or sedan, sport pod or no sport pod. I am just hoping crazy k finds one for me Quote
Crazy K Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 I paid $18 for one from a yard in sunday. Â I wonder if the obdII system could be made to work with the DIS? I have a different reason for wanting to do OBDII as well. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 I wonder if the obdII system could be made to work with the DIS? I have a different reason for wanting to do OBDII as well. Â It most definitely could. The OBD-II PCM's have a UART output which is compatible as far as signal levels. You'd just need to reverse engineer the code in the flash memory and write some routines to spit out correct code on the UART! Â Quote

GnatGoSplat Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 First think I think you'll need to get a dump of what's in the flash memory and also find out what kind of CPU is in it in order to make a disassembled listing of the code. Â Quote
rockfangd Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 so basically is there a way to make thesefeatures operational on my 94 cutty 3100, or am i out of luck Quote
94CutlassSLCoupe Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 No fuel economy on a 94 3100. In the car i sold to jay, everything worked with the exception of the fuel data. You just have to run all the connections with the exception of the speed to the ALDL data connection on the diagnostic connector. The computer does not send fuel data at all Quote
rockfangd Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 well dont i still have to connect the aldl wire anyhow, doesnt it do other things. I thought maybe the DIS told temps and tach also Quote
94CutlassSLCoupe Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 yes, it tells the coolant temp and also the tach...that comes from the ALDL stream Quote
rockfangd Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 so how difficult would you say the job was. All of the wires were easy to run? Quote
Psych0matt Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 its splicing a few wires, 2 feet at the very most (and thats very generous), and mounting it in, which is just some screws. I'd say it's maybe 4 out of 10, 5 out of 10 if you dont pay attention to things when youre doing them Quote
rockfangd Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 I am shocked because i just saw a band new DIS on ebay. in the box. they have a reserve on it hmmm i wonder what it could be Quote
rockfangd Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 I found it by doing a search for oldsmobile. then 1988 to 1993 oldsmobile cutlass. and newly listed. i think it was like pg.5 of 7. very nice Quote
Psych0matt Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 hmmm, is anyone else thinking of getting that? if not, I might try for it. keep it out of the AW section for now perhaps? Quote
rockfangd Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 I was quite surprised when i found that. I am very curious on what the reserve is Quote
Psych0matt Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 oh, didnt realize there was a reserve. nevermind, i wont bother Quote
rockfangd Posted March 9, 2007 Report Posted March 9, 2007 lol. me either. i am going to ask but even if i do it is gonna go for alot Quote
rockfangd Posted March 10, 2007 Report Posted March 10, 2007 BUMP! Can anyone tell me if there is an easy way to add ECC into my 94 cutty. there is a 1993 in my local yard with it and i might chance it. Can i swap the whole entire unit. and where do all of the wires come from. ??? so many questions lol Quote
Crazy K Posted March 10, 2007 Report Posted March 10, 2007 adding ecc can be done. there's a write-up.... Â here you go! http://www.wbodysource.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=20&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0 Quote
rockfangd Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 is there any easier way, like maybe trading the whole hvac unit, if that is even possible, also foes anyone know if i switched the modules if i would still hav to rewire the whole ecc. i really like the feature but it seems way tocomplicated for it to be worth my while. i would rather switch the whole thing lol Quote
