Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

sounds like you should be up and running soon Vinnie! So the plan is just to put the tune on it that Phil emailed you with vats disabled and cross your fingers?
What else can you do with this program? Will it actually allow you to go in and tune a car yourself or edit the tune you have now?
HPtuners is a full tuning software, many tuners use it to do their work.
So just a matter of installing the program and turning Vats from on to off in HPTuners?
Yes it was that easy, took me an hour to figure out how to install the program/drivers since I have 64bit vista, and maybe 5mins to calibrate the tune.
I think my IAC valve is broken...here's the symptoms: sometimes a hanging idle, usually ~1000-1200 after I get off the highway, after driving for a bit it will stick to 1k. When it doesn't stick, it holds idle at ~1k until I come to a stop, then idle comes back down. Sound like a bad IAC to you?
mine used to do that all the freakin time, I just took it as the tune because since I've had phil tuning my car its not been a problem. I'd like to know what it is as well.
Well it did it before Phil tuned it, and then now too so I'm suspecting either the IAC or TPS. I did some reading and it's sounding more like the IAC. I wonder if there's any way I can test if it's functioning properly because a replacement is like $60.
I would guess the TPS you should be able to test voltage with it and see, although I don't know how. I had issues with my TPS on my pos Fast TB forever so that probably was part of the issue.
I can see the signal from the TPS in HPT as a percentage, but maybe it's an output that has been calibrated wrong? It doesn't seem like the TPS though, because when I let off the pedal and press in the clutch it'll idle high until I come to a complete stop. Pointing more towards IAC.
