Reading a different thread got me thinking about this(again).
Does anyone know how to hook up a laptop to the cars ecm? I'd like to be able to monitor the engine systems in real time. And be able to adjust stuff on the fly. I see them in newer 'tuner' cars all of the time, but is it possible with an '88 Chevy? I've even seen them that run off of an older little Nintendo portable. (I'm sure my kids have got one of those laying around collecting dust somewhere,lol.) And Ive heard that an otherwise usless old 133Mhz laptop will do just fine. And I just so happen to have an old dell cpi366 and a mac powerbook g3 that need a purpose.
I downloaded a piece of software once that would show the guages and stuff on the screen, but you had to have the correct harness and interface and all kinds of stuff I didnt understand at the time to make it work. It was waaaaay over my head. Of course, now I cant find that file or remember its name.
Anybody got any ideas?
