wow, where have you been, they have been able to do that since they started using fuel injection. How do you think they can do a tune up, they have to do it in a tune up depending on how its running. Go to a dealership and ask around.Haha. If you knew anything about Honda ecu's you would know that they cannot "adjust" your injectors at the dealership. But from what it seems you know everything about Hondas. Just because your car has fuel injection doesn't mean your car's "fuel injectors can be modified."
Tell me how the VW dealers adjust fuel injection settings on a car with mechanical fuel injection?
When you answer that let me know.

better yet lets see the reciept from the last time you took your car to the dealership and had them adjust the pulse...then we will have something else to laught at....you getting raped.

haha, i wasnt thinking straight, but the can adjust the pulse, at least on nissans. As long as its ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION. I was goin to get it done on my 300ZX right before i blew the motor, cause it was running supper rich. I know absolutely nothing about hondas. and its not a couple hundred dollar scan tool they use, its a few thousand dollar computer, i was goin to buy one of these for my 300ZX but i didnt have $6000.
-
yep we got one of them in out shop along with a lift they are about 6500 for the computer.

If dealers were adjusting fuel tables across the entire rev range for both high and low throttle on cars without the use of the dyno or any ecu modifications, why do people switch to standalone engine managements? Damn those crazy dealers have some crazy stuff these days.
Having used a 5000+ dollar scan tool they're not that impressive for what they cost. They clear codes, read codes, and check sensors, but nowhere did I see any way to adjust ecu settings for any of the vehicles I used it on.

The Ford STAR tester I've used is able to make ECU adjustments with the correct memory card inserted. Of course, you have to spend a lot of money on those cards and they only cover a certain range of ECU programs. I don't know what they are capable of editing though.
-
isnt the only way to play with the ecu on the genstar is if you have the flash box and the seasonal update subscribtion from ford? ...and then doesnt it only update manufacturer specific problems/recalls?

take it to the honda dealer it may have one of several problems like a restriction in the fuel system or a massive vacuum leak check to make sure that none of the hoses are disconnected before you fork over the cash because i have seen that more than once and the owner feels like an ass because it was an easy fix and they still have to pay for it
