Default Pre Dyno Questions

This is open to anyone to post a question.....I have one I can't answer.

Since I just changed injectors, should I try to drive the car for 50 miles (or xxx) to let the pcm adjust all those secondary tables to them? Or can I just go throw it on the dyno? Keep in mind my car sits in the garage this time of year. It's idled for about 5 minutes so far after the swap.

I would drive it around a little. You probably don't want to run into any problems on the dyno....it might be end up costing you money (at $100/hr or whatever they charge)

Yeah, Ellis reminded me I should at least try to dial in the cruise fuel trims.

And no, they are cash only for dyno. Need a loan?

cash only? Well damn, I was planning on using my "car parts" credit card. Doh... oh well, Shaun is cash only too, so I guess I'll just have to pull out an extra $100 when I go pick up my car tomorrow.

Mark,

I can meet you at Hooters this afternoon for lunch if you want to put some miles on those injectors. I can drop off some copies of the GMHTP to you that way too.

Dang it, I don't have the TA Howard. How about tomorrow for lunch? Some of the guys here at work are getting restless & talking about going there. I figure it's a good excuse to drive the car....
