Are there any courses out there that teach mapping? (sure there must be) - I work as an IT analyst and I'm sure if I could get on a course I could master this (just like anyone could really)

Anyone know if there's anything out there?

Cheers

 

Its not just about understanding how to use the software (easy part), you have to know the car like the back of your hand too

 

EFI 101 course -

 

understand it's not just knowing the software but either way one is useless without the other

 

Buy yourself a KWP2000 reader/writer and have a ganders at the binary data... its a good place to start thats what I did anyway.. And if you can find a copy of WinOLS bobs your mothers brother.

 

software is just the tool - you need the knowledge and that takes experience (expensive to gain through trial and error) or extended study of why stuff works.

Do you know of places that run this course?

 

^^

 

does anyone on here map there own car?

 

lots of people do

 

gotta get myself on this course - anyone know of a course in the south west area?

 

I've mapped my own cars in the past.. Vauxhalls though using the Motronic 1.5.5 system...

Heres a Z20LEH lump I built a loom for and mapped running outside of the car

the details are on that website. The courses are very infrequent.

Lots of people map their own cars (not me though) - it is a risky business learning it but can be rewarding if you get it right.
