Ecotec's reprograming info
Tuesday, February 22, 2005 8:57 PM
I remember Ecotec owners asking what was the reprograming for. Well, here is what it does.

This condition may affect 2002-04 vehicles with 4 cylinder 2.2L engine
(VIN F - RPO L61) (Chevrolet Malibu, Cavalier, and Classic, Oldsmobile Alero, Pontiac Grand Am and Sunfire).

Some owners may comment about an engine idle flare when the clutch is depressed. Also, some owners may comment about a low speed engine decel stall when coming to a stop.

The flare is caused by the vehicle entering stall-saver mode when the clutch is depressed. The low speed engine decel stall is produced by an interaction between the engine control software and the IAC motor.

Reprogram the PCM with the latest calibration available. The new calibration was released beginning with TIS satellite data update version 6.0 for 2004 available June 2004. As always make Tech 2 is updated with the latest software version.

i had that taken care of last year

it really REALLY pissed me off though cause i took it in twice when it started and they were like "ugh, there's no DTC's and we can't replicate it...." then everyone found out about the reflash (it was posted on here) i got that, and no more stalling out HOORAY!
