well, fred, i think we're on the same boat...

unless i learned it wrong, ti's built in '95 have the chip soldered on.. soo, you gotta send the ecu away. but, just to make sure, why don't you pull it out and look at it?

it's behind the battery embedded in the firewall. you gotta remove the black plastic cover and there's a little compartment there. i believe somebody else posted detailed instructions for how to do it.

Sparco,

If you go to a Dinan dealer in your area, they can just download the software without removing the chip. It takes less than a 1/2 hour.

My 4/95 'ti has the Conforti Chip, no need to send anything anywhere. I think the download deal is how it works for OBD2 cars, but I wasn't aware there was software for those.

A '95 does not have a soldered in chip, but you do need to know your ECU model number and the build date before you order the new one. Turner's web site explains all this. They sell Conforti chips, I've got one, it's great.
