ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!
Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956
Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)
Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.
These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.
1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.
2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.
3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.
4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.
The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.
The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

so lets say you got a header, exhaust, intake and cam. the factory computer will only put out what its meant. so you car could go rich and cause the gas to drain quick, the richer you run, the less powerful your car is.
tuners fix this with programs. they tune (adjust settings) buy using a wideband which tells them how rich or lean the motor is running. onces tuned to the specs of the car, now your car has more power and runs bettermiss my turbo cb7
moved onto volvos. dont know how that happened, just did

You need to find a dyno/tuning shop in your area. Around here we have a bunch of import specialty places that will do that kind of stuff, but you will have to find a good shop local to you..
Be forewarned to have a good tune get the wallet ready..
worth it to not murder your motor though =)

Most "chipped" ecus havn't been tested so they can do more damage than good in some cases.
If you want to chip your ecu, you need to have it tuned as well.
Car Safety / General Servicing Checks --------Basic suspension checks

A "Finished" project car is never finished until its been sold.
If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

"clearing" the CEL is not what you need to worry about. The CEL is telling you that there's a problem. Read the "sticky" threads in this section. You will see how to read the error codes from the CEL. From there, you must fix all the things that the CEL is telling you are wrong.
Also, if your D4 (for 92-93) or S (90-91) is on in your gauge cluster, that's a TCU (transmission computer) error code. That could account for your strange shifting. Read that the same way you'd read the CEL code, and fix that as well.
