turbovr41991,

I don't have a tuner background and I'm getting a bit lost here. Can you sort out for me (us?) how this went together, both physically and software?

I know you're using a modified OBD-1 ECU. And I think there's a jumper cable to connect it to the car's existing harness connector?

Is Neptune programmed into the OBD-1 ECU? Or installed into some other hardware?

How does the Tunerview connect to the system? Does it need other tools or software to set it up or run?

If my state inspection requires my '97 car to have working OBDII, will I need to physically remove the OBD-1 ECU or does the OBD-1 install in its own spot so I only need to swap some connectors temporarily?

Sorry for all the questions. Tuning noob.
