You need TunerPro, then the ADX and XDF file from this thread:

im sorry i do not mean to sound ingnorant or something but on the one page that pertaines to my car there are alot of files do i need to load them all or what. also i do not see any that are for the 94 camaro LT1 so im still a little lost im starting out my day today to try and read my car and see what it is doing and maybe beable to see on my laptop my cars data. so i have about 12 hours to figure the out or im going to have to wait another week to try again when i have more time. i read all the links you sent me and i still do not under stand how to , or what to look for to start. sorry

1994 Camaro LT1 engine is $EE.

do i need to get a ASDU .bin file or chip or what

[EagleMark]

No, that was just the bin file used in Tutorial. Your bin file is what you read from your PCM. Neither XDF or bin is needed to connect to data. Just ADX.

okay i have my laptop next to this computer to walk myself through this. so far i have tunerpro rt open and have the 2 files youlinked me installed and have set my cable to com 5. is there anything else i need to load before i connect to my car. Again thanks for all the help you have given me. getting this started has been a nightmare or i have been overthinking it.

[stport68]

on the link you gave me with all the different bin files do i need to load all of them or just some

[stport68]

do i need to load a stock bin file for tp to use or what and do i need to load any of the other bin files that you gave me a link to or not

If you are only wanting to look at the datastream, and see it in a useful way, you only need to load the .ADX.

[EagleMark]

The bin file is the file on chip or read from your PCM. The XDF is used to change it.

ADX is to read data

im in the car now watching the data and saved a start idle file. i have a miss and im trying to see it on the screen but i can not get the reading for seperat cylinders. and do i need to write my own program tune or is there other tunes i can load in to the pcm

[EagleMark]

There is no mis fire data in OBDI...

[stport68]

okay was not sure. still need to work at it some more im still trying to read my car and figure out hoe to add some tunes to it for the mods that are done to it. i saved a idle run at warm so i have made some process but there are alot of things to do with this program it is overwelming

And as soon as you know it all? You realize there's so much more!

[stport68]

thanks for that one. im just trying to get everything to work correctly it looks like i have to spend about $200 for a program to put into my car so that is my next step i guess seeing as i need to change the tune i cant find any and i have to pay someone to put it in. it is a neverending cycle i guess

[stport68]

for the life of me i can not get tunercat to work so im stuck with tuner pro standard

[EagleMark]

What $200 program?

TunerCat works fine. The Winflash program is what reads and write the file to the PCM. WinFlash is only $20.

To data log you need TunerPro RT! Regular TunerPro only does the bin file editing.
