Yes, it gets completely bypassed as far as engine controlling goes. It is left on the bus to communicate gauge information. If set up correctly, no, you will not lose anything.

Final GTS,
Almost forgot about this question so I'm bumping the thread. Do all the "other" things (air bag, anti lock brakes, speedo, seat sensors, etc) work when going with something like the Motec?
If I understood an answer to one of the posts, you can't run both together, it's either one or the other
Thanks in advance,
George
Yes, all of those items work, but you have to know what should be connected to which controller, and what the VENOM needs to reference. When set up correctly, the worst you will get is a check engine light all the time, but no ill effect. The JTEC can be flashed to remove CEL's, the VENOM cant. The big issue is when someone tries to use a lower end controller to only partially handle the engine, and the VENOM plays tug-of-war with limp modes and other changes in control strategies of what it is still connected to. Such an example would be using an external controller to control Fuel/Ignition, or Variable Cam but leaving the VENOM to control the throttle. The controller will likely not correctly control the throttle system correctly, as it will think there is a major engine issue- what it is "trying" to do is having no effect, so it thinks something is broken, and will drop into Limp.
