Reprogram ECU?
I am on a low budget...so I am looking for "cheap and easy" upgrades...Is it possible to reprogram the ECU using software on a laptop? I am wondering because I found a Parallel Port in the front right of the car (inside) behind a piece of plastic.

Re: Reprogram ECU?
The port you probably saw is for running diagnostics on the car. ![Wink](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Wait what about that Parallel Port? Is that for the people with the Dyno?

You can get the codes out of your ECU, but you need a special machine to run diagnostics, you may be able to pick up a generic OBD II reader and check it with that, but it won't tell you the whole story, nor will you be able to see any information, usually only dealers and shops have those kinds of machines, and they charge ya $$$ to run a test, which is pretty much pointless unless your car is not running right.
