So I finally got around to trying to log some data on my truck and I have a couple questions.
First, it seems the data stream hz is pretty slow like 1hz. Is there anyway to increase this or is this all it's capable off.
Second when I Unplugged the data cable from the truck the idle speed changes and when I plug it back in it changes again. Is this normal?? Is there a sequence for hooking up the auto prom, cable, and computer?
Thanks for any help you can give me
you haven't really told us what your truck is, or what ecm it runs, so we'll have to guess
if it's TBI, then yes, it has a very slow data rate.
also if you have an ALDL cable and stuff changes when you plug it in, there's probably a jumper you have to take off.
The data rate should be higher, typically between 8 Hz and 11 Hz, in most cases I've seen.
As far as the idle speed change, you have one of the two switches set to 10K. When this is done, some ECMs will go into an "ALDL diagnostic mode" that is usually set with a higher idle speed, kinda as a way of confirming connection. This may also be related to your low data logging rate.
My bad.
Its a 87 3/4 chevy 4x4. 350tbi 400 trans
1227747 ECM
Using tuner pro with the auto prom.
I know the auto prom has the switch for the 10k resistor which I have in the on position
Read my post above...
ok. I will try to do some logging tomorrow after switching the switch. :-)Quote:

its useable, but you need to do lots of very long logs and do averages and plotting with spreadsheets or whatever to get useful data. when i tuned my tbi ecm, i did hours of datalogging and spent hours on sorting that data into useable stuff, and running averages, etc.
yes and these ecu's that command locked timing and high idle rpm when in 10k mode need the bin edited before logging set dianostic mode forced advance rpm limit low like 900 rpm or all the blm data under the stock set point will be bad data normally 2000rpm limited
So I'm a little confused on what needs to be done while data logging. What parts of the cal need to be changed?
Thanks for the help guys
what are your goals? more stable idle? more precise fueling? more optimal timing advance?..
Might have mis understood.Quote:

try removing the 10k resistor. if datalogging works, you're set. most ecms dont need it.
You don't need the 10K resistor, that is only for the '165, and only for specific data.
I having a problem as well. my ad file doesn't show my actual air fuel ratio just the target. anyone know how toad that to the definition? 3.1v6 bird using aldl and moates burn2. its the $88 mask. thanks
It likely doesn't have it and if it did, it wouldn't be accurate since it would be based on teh narrow band sensor, which is more of a switch than a sensor...Quote:

sorry edit just realized you do have a wideband.
I understand what you were trying to say I'm just trying to figure out how to get it to read the actual air fuel ratio. Just looking for an updated $88 mask with actual afr gauge for data log purposes. I'm trying to tune and just want the gauge and not have to do some crazy mathematics. I'm a first time self tuner so everything is still new to me.
