how does that work, if i unplug the wires to the solenoids, should i be allright , or is it the other way around that it needs 12v to NOT skip shift ?

thanks.

CAGS can be disabled by software, by an SLP module or like this:

Yes you can unplug the wires and it will disable it. One day when your down here Ican disable it , unless you already have a tuning program.
Are you gonna have te check engine light working?

is it a 98 PCM?

If you just unplug it, you will get an SES light ...

I thought there was a kit for this thing?....terry got one for his T/A

There's multiple ways to fix that:

- pull the plug, works, but you get the SES
- DIY-solution with a small resistor, will work, but usually can be spotted during inspection (if you care)
- pre-made plugs that go in between the PCM cable and the tranny, hard to spot if it's built professionally with the original plugs
- re-configure the PCM to stop messing with the solenoid

(stock config on Euro-Models) - I can do this for any 98 LS1 PCM ...

Note: I'm assuming it works the same way in all LS1s as it does in the vette.

If you haven't disabled it and don't want to go to 4th when it tries to force you, just leave it in neutral and let the clutch out, basically a slow double clutch shift will trick it.

There is an easier way. Just leave it in first gear a little longer. Once you get to a certain speed, the skip shift goes off. I ordered the CAGS from SLP and it works great. Plug it in and you're done.

does the fact that the engine warning light comes on, allso reduces power / eg. engine limp mode ?

roy , can you alter things in the ECU like you did with yours (injection timing, fans, ignition timing) without a special chip installed, eg with the original chip form the factory in the ECU ?

No, this sensor should not cause any problems ... again - what year is the engine/PCM?

It will depend on what code it is , whether it will reduce power or not.
I know Garry and I are both running EFI LIVE . and if its a 98 PCM the licenses are free. 99 and newer the license cost 100 dollars. Word has gotten around that I have a tuner . So I have been doing tunings for the cost of a license for 99 and up.

No special chip necessary for tuning.

not sure if it is a 98 or 99
it does have center mounted rockercovers.

sorry for me being a complete idiot, but what do you mean exactely with " license cost 100 dollars" or licence is free ? :?:

do i have to buy a code (licence) from gm in order to unlock the PCM ? is that what you mean

thanks

Sounds like you have a 99 PCM setup.
The license is for EFILIVE to tune a 99 and up PCM. EFILIVE Sells them but the only person that can buy that Digital LICENSE (basically a bunch odf digits) is a person with a EFI. It part of the money/scheme that EFILIVE uses.

you can make your self a resistor
