| :I thought the Zem was a way to reburn the ECU's maps at will , while the car was running. In other words, the car Not quite. If you're loading a set of maps, you can't do this with the car running. You *can* tweak individual values, such as fuel and timing in real time, with the car running (for example on the dyno). :You seem to imply that the Zem is "always live", in other words, continuously reburning the ECU or even running software in place of the ECU. I didn't expect that. Your suspicion is correct. That's not how it works. The ZEM is nothing more than an emulator that takes the place of the EPROM in your ECU. The emulator is always live, since it's taking the place of the chip. But it acts standalone and doesn't require a computer to be hooked up to it full time. :It seems to me that running the car on a "live" Zem at all times is asking for trouble in the case of a CPU crash, or even a "hang" where the disk drive is being accessed for a Since the ZEM doesn't require a computer, these points are moot Hope this helps to clear up some of the confusion.
