DOES THE INT X USE the microtech software?

 

yes.

beers

 

so intx controls fuel and ignition, does the stock computer see all its sensors?

 

Yes. Also, the ignition and fuel don't provide feedback, so the computer won't know that its NOT controlling them.

 

It will get the idea that they're not responding as they should though...hence the inevitable CEL

 

I think MM is working on dealing with those CELs via Greddy Dongle right? I am actually going to Greddy in a few minutes, I must remember to ask them about that.

 

SO THE computer sees a open cicuit in the injector and ignitions and throws a cel? if that is the case the stock computer goes into limp mode? what i am concerned about is the oil metering that is being controlled by the stock computer. is it providing enough oil mix?

 

Oh Snap... that would be great!!!

If he does come up with that, someone shoot me a PM

 

The stock computer has no idea what's going on with the ignition. There is no feedback system. The Stock computer only knows the AFR is not where it wants it via the O2 sensors. It does not monitor for an open injector circuit. The cel is for a system too rich condition.

 

if the stock computer has no idea whats going on with the ignition, it does not know what rpm its at. or does it? therefore it does not know how much oil to inject into the motor. im just theorizing since i dont have a int x. did someone hook up a scan tool to see if the stock computer knows what rpm its at. does the int x get its tach reference from the stock computer?...if it did then thats cool. actually i just realized that if the tach worked then the computer is getting a tach reference. i guess im pretty **** when it comes to spending money.

 

Crank angle sensor.

Yeah, I'll have the O2 sensor thing worked out soon...

 

Could that be used toward those with catless midpipes?

 

No, first of all, the cat is monitored using the narrow band O2 sensor. The Greddy dongle is designed to modify the signal from the WB O2 sensor.

Second of all, the stock computer swings the AFR under light load to attempt to test the cat. With the Intx connected, those swings don't occur, and there's no way for any type of electronic device to know when the stock computer is attempting to test the cat.

Even with the stock computer, the Greddy dongle doesn't/can't simulate the oxygen buffering effect of a cat on the AFR's. Although, something could certainly be built that could.
