 Subject: reprogramming the ECU
IP: Logged
Message:
I just bought a '02 dakota that was a meter reader truck in a former life. I have found out that the computer was reprogrammed to cut power back so the meter readers didn't get to wild. LOL! Is there a way to bring it back to factory specs without buying a programmer?
Also, if you hit a good mudhole and water gets to the engine it stalls and sputters till it dries out. What is getting wet and how do I best water proof it?

The muddle puddle thing is probably your dist-cap/rotor getting wet. All you need to do is replace it..easy fix...as for the computer...better wait for someone else to reply...sorry!!

Well if they used some sort of detuner on the stock computer Id imagine if its just a program and not a "Chip" inline 2 the comp,You could dissconect the battery Neg cable then turn your key 2 start for 40 secs or so.. this would "restore" the stock computer program by wiping the memory if the detuner was reprogram job. If that didnt work.. look for a little black box @ the ECU connected 2 one of the harnesses.. Good luck.. N dont forget 2 reattach that cable ;).
