| Phoenix Switch-On-The-Fly Chip (DISCOUNTINUED) (Disabled) Power Hungry no longer sells the Phoenix/TS chip, but if you need custom tuning we can recommend a few really good tuners that will be able to still provide tuning and support for your chip. If you have any other questions or comments about the Phoenix/TS chip, please post it here. |

Sounds good then. What would be a good 4th position to have? I'll fill up 2 places with the mod stock and anti theft, way as well go for 6 positions I guess. Not sure I'd use a 4th position but who knows....
BTW, thanks for all the answers to some probably dumb questions,I'm pretty ignorant about so much of this stuff. |

 4th position? I don't think PHP charges for a high idle calibration and I've found that I really can't live without a high idle position anymore. I was hooked the first time I used it. The heater stays warmer in the winter due to increased coolant flow through the heater core and the A/C stays cooler in the summer due to increased airflow (from the cooling fan) through the A/C condenser. You probably know Montana well....-30 in the winter and 100+ in the summer.

Running the A/C is usually what I use High Idle for. Also, if you sit for long periods (like napping at the rest stop... heh heh), you want to have the idle a bit higher so you don't get what's called "wet stacking", which is a buildup of unburnt deposits on the back of the exhaust valves.
I hope this helps.

This is Minotaur-related stuff but I really don't need a position on my chip for high idle anymore and I don't have to worry about driving off with high idle on.

I pulled the PCM out to get the code off the back and decided to pull the Banks chip to check the contacts - looks like someone did a whiz-bang job of cleaning it, maybe too clean, there's some copper showing. Can I take it to any electronics repair place to be re-tinned if it needs it?
I'll try to post some pics , if I can get to some clear one's without taking it apart again..... |
