Just like the title says...is the book about Corvette Fuel Injection the best one out there for us? I feel like spending a little money before my wife gets to it all...

I thought the corvette fuel injection book is/was excellent for familiarizing oneself w/an EFI vehicle ... but I think you're past that now

another option:

the diagnostic sticky... it's a pretty good read

Well shucks...I really need to find a book on how PCMs are programmed and troubleshooted in the first place. I can't believe nobody has made a good book on how to tune a PCM for drastic changes, and what methods and tools to use.

I thought it was pretty superficial and it was published, what,
in 1997? Not much info then on OBDII and the GenIII motor.

I know Bosch makes a book on Bosch fuel injection that is pretty good...but it did not have enough of the info I was looking for at the time. I will have to go back and look at it in the store. It focused mainly on BMW electonic engine systems.

I know on other forums, such as grand prix and grand am's that actuall GM engineers and programmers are members. I'm surprised we've not had any Fbody designers shed some light

the HPT guys are in here all the time answering questions as they can... Gameover has provided a bunch of really useful technical information about how parts of the car work...
