Governer

I was wondering if it is possible to disable the governer on my 1999 Mali and wanted to know how to do it. Any help is great thanks

you have to reprogram the computer

Do you have any information on how i could do that then?

you might be able to get an aftermarket programer like a hypertech or something that will do it i don't know if they make any that are compatible with your car

isn't the govener at like 110mph? (at least thats what my 2001 seems to be at) with how fast my malibu goes through brake pads I'd be carefull with that...

Yeah the malibu is electronically governed at 115MPH. In order to defeat the governer, you must have the ECU reprogrammed. This isn't an easy job and requires special tools, unless you purchase a preprogrammed chip. I *highly* recommend you upgrading your brakes, such as cross-drilled and/or vented front rotors, ceramic brake pads, and possibly a rear disk brake conversion and new pistons all around w/ a new master cylinder if you seriously plan on driving in excess of 95MPH in your car. OEM equipment on passenger cars are not designed to handle this kind of extreme driving and in an emergency, you could experience lethal brake fade.

The gov. on my '98 malibu kicks in at 105 mph. Irritating as hell. I'm having a really hard time finding a preprogrammed chip. Anyone have any suggestions where to look for one of these? And can a chip like this handle other programming such as fuel/air mixture changes for overall performance increase?
