>Message #47483 from Charles Tutt at Jul 4, 2000 6:43 AM What if they had sought and received certification? You're off on a tangent, IMHO. Can, e.g., GM (or whoever writes their engine control code) sue if I pull the EPROM out of my engine and sell it to somebody? If yes, on what authority? Ignore whether or not that disables my engine or makes it illegal to drive it. < EPA will not certify aftermarket vehicles only OEM. Even Porsch 959 is not EPA/DOT certified so it is illegal to run on public street (if you build your own roads like racing tracks... then you can use it). No you can not sell the EEPROM with GM , FORD, Chrysler ... code on it. It is their intellecture property, obviously if you wipe the EEPROM then you can do whatever you want with it. Mike
