    Need Help with '8747 ECM

    I have a 1990 Chevy G30 with a 454. (I know most people have never seen one, I swear it is real) Mine came with the '8747. I am working with a guy via email to get the tuning right (I swapped out the cam on the rebuild). The problem is datalogging. I can't get winaldl or tuner pro to read this thing. It will catch some data but not very much. And if I am at 1800 rpm or more, the programs are not catching anything. I am desperate at this point. Is there anything that can actually read these? Or do I need to swap to a different ECM and which one?

    https://www.gearhead-efi.com/Fuel-In...Information-4F shows 2 different .adx files. Which .adx file are you trying to use?

    What driver are you using for the ALDL cable?

    What com port is ALDL cable configured to?

    I have tried both. The aldl is on Com 3. I am receiving data but it is not a very good stream. Receives useable data maybe every 10-40 seconds, zero at higher rpm. I am using a cable I got from datacat aldl to usb.

    The 10K resistor is not required with $4F.

    The attached $4F data log was recorded with a cable from aldlcable.com: https://obd2allinone.com/products/aldlobd1u.asp
    using the driver from http://tunercat.com/ (the ALDL was plugged into the USB port when the driver was installed)

    Possibly playback the attached $4F data log to verify the TunerPro RT configuration.

    Perhaps these screen captures will help?

    Thank you. After uninstalling and reinstalling twice, it seems to be working now. I appreciate the help!
