It was quite awhile ago and all I can remember is after they installed the new chip and fired-up the car, it started missing and the tech got all nervous and got his supervisor. Turned out that they had not re-seated the board properly.
The CEL remained on after the incident and they went to the office to download something off the internet and transferred it to a pcm/cia card which was plugged into a multipin connector then plugged into the DRBIII port under the dash board. They fired-up the car again and the CEL went out...
Now that I think about it more, I know they didn't completely disable the CEL, because I had it come on when I ran the car a few nights ago with the 02 sensors removed...
It's one of those things that makes you go HMMM!!!! because I would think this darn thing would be illuminated with all four cats gutted... Oh well !!!
I wish I had an extra $8,000 hanging around to buy a DRBIII scan tool...
