Digital tuning hasn't returned my e-mails, so I was wondering if you guys had any ideas?

Palm V, pocketlogger cable, Palm hotsync cable or Palm hotsync cradle, all confirmed to be functioning. This exact same set-up worked just fine before the motor rebuild but nothing changed electrically in the vehicle so...

Pocketlogger program is registered, both the hotsync cable and cradle work just fine, I have a heart beat at the ALDL, I have power at the fuse block that powers the cable and I have continuity between the ecu and the ALDL. What I don't have is a connection to the Palm. When I bring up the "datalog" function, I get no data and the sample rate is shown as 0.

Is there anything I can check on the pocketlogger cable itself or elsewhere in the vehicle that may be causing the connection issue?

Thanks for any and all suggestions and/or advice. ]]> 5150DSM http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/tuning-engine-management/436303-pocketlogger-connection-issue.html TunerPRo RT issues http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/tuning-engine-management/436242-tunerpro-rt-issues.html Wed, 16 May 2012 01:16:38 GMT I am trying to switch to tuner pro.

I have no problems with mmcd, logwroks, LM programmer, or anything else I need to connect to. So why is it when I connect to tunerpro, it just says"connecting" at the bottom foredver and never connects. Please help, I am getting close to sending my hole setup to the guy who helps me with my chip tuning to try and figure this out, and I would love to spare him the trouble.

So just to recap

cables appear to be correct.Correct COm is identified, and everyhting is set right in tunerprort they report back as found and functional by tunerproRT
1g DSM definition file is loaded into tunerpro and automotically loads when I start the program
Computer recognizes cable anytime it is plugged in
Drivers for cables installed.

Is there some other drivers I am un aware of? I have followed this sites tunerpro thread in every detail plus used a couple other resources including tunerpro's own forums and site.

I have MAP & IAT sensors in for SD but am working on a MAFT tune first to learn the ropes.

I believe I've covered all initial steps fine to this point and believe my next step is to start working on the A/F ratio

Am looking for this input please:
• Did I overlook anything that I should attend to first?
• Any general tips as I move onto A/F ratio? Or links to teach myself, I'm having a surprising hard time finding links for this step...
• Seems I could spend all day re-calibrating my idle air/fuel trim, every time it's slightly different. Is that typical, is it a MAFT thing?

TIA!

The entire time i have been using this ecu, I have had it on the passenger side floor, I tried to mount it where it belongs and the above mentioned problem occurs.

I also had a problem logging when i first got the ecu,(mmcd) I had to jump 2 of the wires at the aldl to get it to work properly, If i didnt, the logger would jump around and all the values would flash. I tried the ecu mounted with the jumper disconnected, To no avail.

If anyone has any input i would love to hear it.

Thanks in advance

I have since replaced it with ECMlink V3 lite. The car is running A LOT different now, so I'm wondering if anyone can decipher the parameters of the previous chip so I can replicate it and tweak it using Link?

The chip is from Result Magic (a Japanese tuning company).

The chip itself has no writing on it at all. My ECU had a couple R-Magic stickers on it and a sticker that said "serial/01I543". I tried searching it but came up with nothing.

Let me know if anyone can help.

It seems everyone using this part is using it on a 6 bolt swap into a 2g. I am looking for better ignition control on a 1g. I know triggerdisk has a special cam wheel to mod the optical sensors with but I'd like to work with kiggly parts. Yes he has a pdf download on his tech site. But, all of the sensors have a 2g plug for the crank sensor. 1g's do not. Is this going to be a hardwire mod? I want to stick with the black top CAS and just remove the crank wheel out of it. ]]> KentStateTsi http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/tuning-engine-management/435994-kiggly-12-tooth-crank-trigger-1g.html 2G 16g on 93 (proper tune before e-85) http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/tuning-engine-management/435965-16g-93-proper-tune-before-e-85-a.html Sun, 13 May 2012 14:30:48 GMT My GSX is currently running 93 octane fuel.

I have the sourceforge page bookmarked, but the address/function stuff honestly makes no sense to me - none of the values fit in the fields available within MMCd. For example, I want to check my idle switch and the sourceforge page says "Address - 0x02 Function - bit 0x80" what does that mean and how do I input that to MMCd?

Also, on a related note, I decided to try the "injector test" and 1 and 2 did nothing, 3 and 4 worked and made the car run/idle identical (rough, obviously). BTW I'm running version 1.5d of MMCd via palm emulator on Windows 7. ]]> Spoolin92GSX http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/tuning-engine-management/435953-mmcd-custom-sensors.html EVO8 Ecu users, Log request please. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/tuning-engine-management/435813-evo8-ecu-users-log-request-please.html Fri, 11 May 2012 03:38:00 GMT Question for my fellow EVO8 ecu users, could I get a couple of log files to compare against my logs please.

Or, now, so I thought. I was getting ready to replace the caps, and when I turned the board over I spotted this jumper wire. Since it seems to be connecting two components that aren't connected stock, can anyone tell me why the hell this would be done, before I get rid of it?

The stalling doesn't happen every time though!

I don't have any other signs of a bad MAF as it only does this when idling after a period of driving. I also have my airflowperrev set at .29 as I have FP2s (272s) and I heard this is the target number for 272s. My ISC position is where it's supposed to be at 30ish

Could it possibly be heatsoak causing these issues? My airflowperrev at a wrong number? Or a bad MAF?

A couple of things to note is I only have the stock passenger side fan with a mishimoto radiator, no Emission lines at all with TB ports capped off, Dejon intake (only has recirculating port) with stock 1G bov recirculated and I also have my valvecover breather hose dumping off to the ground not recirculated back into the intake. (Could this be the problem?)

Any ideas?

Well I am finally getting to setting my base timing. I no longer have access to a coil or wires so I'm attempting to set it using the inductive pickup on the signal wire to coil #1 (I read on another resolved thread to do this). My question is if anyone has experience doing this with an ARC-2? I could bypass it but id rather set timing using everything the car is going to run with on a daily basis. If someone has done so what settings did you run on the ARC-2?
Appreciate the help!
