Computer removal?

Red03Mustang · Sep 30, 2004

Could our cars do a computer delete? I mean, is it possible to remove the computer and all the computer stuff, and have the car run all right? I haven't ever heard of anyone doing this, but I wasn't sure. Cars used to all run without computers before. Are they capable even of doing that now?

Just seems like it would be cool to have a car that was purely mechanical instead of depending on a computer chip.

Funny I should say that since I just got a Diablo.

to just say no, would be incorrect...

however you would have to change a ton of stuff, basically anything thats computer controlled woudl have to get switched to mechanical.. so things like gauges, fuel delivery (would have to have a carb not fuel injection) etc would all have to be changed... its possible and would be cool as hell.. i have personally thougth about switching to carb just for the WOW factor.. but the cost would be rediculous.

nope, there isnt a distributer on the motor. the motor was designed to run with a computer, and cant be run without one.

but most everything else would be fine without a cpu

our cars CAN run without a PC, swap in an older motor (Its still the same car... at least the shell) then you have to remove all the innards (guages AC EVERYTHING) go buy a 67 if you dont want a computer... then you dont have to do emissions either.

Well, just a thought I guess. I wasn't going to do it, but I was wondering if anyone had.

I guess this should probably have been posted in talk. It kind of borders both.

i think he was referring to the 4.6 motor running without a computer.

No, you're fine here in Tech with this post - it's basically impossible tech, but tech nonetheless!

What's the point? Why would you want our cars run without the computer?
