[1997TA]

Help me out. I took a rode trip to Colorado from Utah and the fastest my 1997 TA was 110 mph. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) It seemed like there was governored at that speed. It started sputtering. What's up with that. Is this normal? How do I remove it????????????? It is a stock LT1 with CAI.

Digging up another old thread....

I'm lucky enough to have the 117MPH limiter on my ECU.

What can I do to remove it and stay legal in CMCx??

Will a dealer reprogram it out?

Thanks.

Good luck with the dealer.

In a pinch, try unplugging the VSS connector on the trans. Without ABS and VSS it won't know what speed the car is going. You'll get a SES light and code, so scan it periodically to see if any others codes are set.

Will diconnecting the VSS hurt/foul up anything else?

If the car is still registered it's probably a violation of state and/or federal law, since the ODO will no longer be ticking.

Speedo won't work.

As I recall in my 1994 OBD1 car, it would light up the SES light only after the car moved. I still had ABS, and the PCM gets speed info also from ABS. Without ABS and VSS the PCM can't know the car is moving.

It will affect the operation of the idle follower function, which may affect low speed driveability.

I don't think it will affect track use at all except removing the 110mph limiter, but YMMV.

Thanks for the info Alan.
