    ECU Flashing

    Your motor uses a MEFI-3 or 4 (probably 3) ECM and if can be reflashed. To do it, will need something like MEFIBurn Will need to erase the program and build a new file. Need AFR gauge and install O2 sensors in the exhaust to tune. Either that or send out to have a approximate tune loaded
