OK, ive spent the last 30 minutes looking at ecmspy.com and searching this site. Still havent got many answers about ecmspy.

My questions...
Is this a free thing? (Doubt it but couldnt find a price)
Once i download the program, i can completely remap my computer? like i wasted my money buying a race ecm, when i coulda reprogramed my stock computer???
What are your experiences with it?

It is free.

Once it is downloaded you can completely remap your computer (if not done correctly you can completely destroy engine as well)

I use it for maintenance work.. I have not tried to remap but it was worth the small expense to build a interface cable to be able to reset the tps and such.

I'd buy a cable if someone was making them.... pleeeeze?

I read the instructions on how to make my own cable but realized I never learned to changed my VCR clock from flashing "12:00" (until it was replaced by the DVD) so there is no way I would ever be able to succeed in building a cable as described.

Thank you for taking pity here....

The main issue, is not all Palms use the same cable..

Though they DO hook up through USB, mine needs to be hooked up to power to stay on after 3 minutes... kinda makes Data Logging tough..

Ok Guys...While we are on this subject , Im no Guru with computors either...
Im taking my S3 in this week to the dealers for a complete sensor check and TPS reset..
I really dont no if they even no what they are doin...Scott sent me a bunch of info on it and Im taking it with me to make sure its done right...
Now, Im still not 100% this is gonna fix the bike, thus would like to get things going for ECM Spy....
I need to go buy a used laptop...Ideas here?
I no i need XP,2000 or vista in it..
I no nothing about buyin a laptop....
Help!....i was just gonna go to a pawn shop or so to get one!
After i manage that, then we need the cable...I see one can get the Duestch connector thru CCI catalogue as well...
But which USB cable do I need?
Does that depend on the laptop i get?
I realize some of you guys are very knowledgable about all this and any HELP would be kewl....
I am gonna try to get this bike to run right with the DDFI if possible, before resorting to a carb setup...
i have tested all sensors with a voltmeter and they are good, It has no intake leaks and all seems to be 100%, other than possibly the TPS setting...
The bike has 800 original miles...Its a 2000 S3T...
Ratb has given me all prices etc on new sensors already, so I guess until May1 when my dealer appointment is I will just gather info from Ya's.....Thx..hankb..
