Yes, but you need to pay for it. Funnily enough, this weeks Computer Active magazine has a piece about that very subject.


Basically, it'll cost you far more than just taking it to a tuning shop.
Reply:Simple answer is no,
Reply:the simple answer is yes, but it is more for fault finding do a search for "OBD2 (II)" you can get programmable chips that you can map out your fuel system, but you would be best going to a rolling road and getting some advice. it can make a big difference..
Reply:It is not just software, it is either an aftermarket ECU or a piggyback fuel computer. It is made for tuning purposes, not just diagnostics.
