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
