This example is for a grand prix, but they're sold for hundreds of cars on amazon

Sure thing. Got a 10 pack of them from Amazon, then bought a 20 pack a few weeks later... I've put them in everything now!

It's a cable throttle. I'll tell them everything I know about what the situation is of course.

The tuner I found for my vehicle on Amazon has some really bad reviews (bricked ECM) which I don't want to mess with. https://www.amazon.com/Jet-Performance-15024-JET-Programmer/dp/B001CH9736/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504217261&sr=8-1&keywords=JET+Performance+15024

I'm in Melbourne, Florida.

You recommend any online retailers? I'm looking at AC DELCO on Amazon but it looks like it needs flashed and flashing it looks like a $100 trip to the dealership. Is it easier to find a flashed one on Ebay for a higher price?

I ordered these for my 08 xB - replaced the overhead lights and the license plate lights - they worked really well for me.

You're right! The ones I was looking at were hondata! Didn't even think of that. So will a stock p28 work as well?

Edit- would this work for example?

u/MrMcSwifty · 1 pointr/Chevy

Is it though? More reliable and convenient for sure. But similar price? Most of the AFM delete kits I find are in the 5-600 dollar range, and that's not including install if you're not mechanically inclined enough to do it yourself (I'm not).

I bought one of these from Range Tech on sale at the time for $150 and it was the best thing I've ever done for my 06 Monte. Burns literally zero oil now, whereas before my consumption before was similar to OPs. No complaints at all besides when I forget to disable it before going in for an inspection sticker here in MA and failing OBD readiness.

Whatever route you go... agreed 100% that killing DOD/AFM is crucial for these cars.

One last question if you don't mind, how did do you disable traction control completely? You're right that the button doesn't do much. Even with it off the car still cuts engine power when it detects too much wheel spin. Most annoying thing ever.

This is the one I got Range Technology Active Fuel Management Disable Device (Blue) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BR1R8N8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_o2g2BbD36JGJY

If you're not a fan of active fuel management, which is only present on the auto SS, a lot of guys run this it disables cylinder deactivation.

u/hartk1213 · 1 pointr/FordTrucks

After my f150 mishap I bought a 2007 NBS Silverado with the 5.3 and to counteract the oil consumption I bought the Range AFM disabler and its helped a lot

Have a 2007 silverado z71 that I purchased at 67k miles. First thing I noticed was the truck was burning oil. Bought the range tech AFM disabler and it was the best purchase I have made on this truck. Completely fixed the burning oil problem and the shifting and throttle response is much better.

u/GotMyOrangeCrush · 1 pointr/Cartalk

Sure, anytime you get a used part it's cheaper.

One huge issue with replacing an PCM/ECM on most cars is that the smart keys and ignition switch are programmed by the dealer to match. So oftentimes the used PCM comes with the ignition key AND and ignition lock cylinder. This way you don't need to get it reprogrammed. However then your front door locks need to be re-keyed by a locksmith to match your new ignition key.

Remember no Honda dealer is going to install or reprogram a used PCM/ECM.

>MOST Computers 1999 & newer will need to be PROGRAMED TO YOUR CAR before they will work in you car. This will have to be done at a Dealer or mechanic with proper equipment. Please talk to your mechanic about this prior to purchase

I use this diablo sport module in my 08 5.3

I love it. Eliminates AFM. I've been averaging about 18mpg, better response and keeping more consistent oil pressure.

Edit: YMMV (literally) I use all season tires with "medium-aggressive" tread, 4x2, 18mpg was result of driving 120 miles on the interstate going between 70-80 without heavy-footing the pedal.

> If you bought it on Amazon you didn't buy it from edge.

That's not always true. There are many sellers on Amazon that ship direct.

Right here is an Insight CS2 on amazon, sold buy edge, No prime so it's not in an amazon wharehouse
