ok so my car was havinbg a starting problem and when i took it into the dealer they said they updated the comp or somthing?? what could they have done? i know my car doesnt have sai becuse its a early 06. they coudlnt have added it could they? someone please help explain

 

Uhh... what? They probably gave you an update to the ECU which fixed the problem. Its a computer that controls your car, like Knight Rider

 

they probably reflashed it with newer software. When they first made the cobalt, there's bugs in the tuning and other places that they have to work out as time goes. So they release updates and such to correct problems that come along. Your car obviously had a bug with it's cold startup that hadn't been corrected so they flashed an update.

 

That's what I was thinking reflash.....I jus couldn't think of the term. And I know what an ecu or ecm is..... and I deff wouldn't compare it 2 nightrider lol but nice try.... well would the reflash have a negative or pos. Reaction or w/e to my mods I have don't its only an intake and exhaust but would the reflash change anything?

 

it depends on what they changed, but looking at the problem(starting the car), what they changed probably didn't do anything performace wise.

 

since we can't tune... it wont have any effect on you except fix any glitches they their may have been. it can only be positive if your car is now running better.

I no longer can do this since I had my computer custom reflashed to eliminate SAI.
