What do you want to know? On a 1g... To start logging click on the mmcd icon, click new, click the parameters you wish to log (knock, idc, tima, rpm... stuff like that), then unclick pause and click log and start your pull(s). I like to click graph or chart or whatever it is as well. To stop logging, unclick log. To review the log, click pause, and "Review/Monitor" (or something a lot like that) should pop up on the bottom right. Click review and you will be able to scroll back and forth and see what you've logged. To select what parameters you want to see graphed,click on where the data for that parameter is displayed (to the right of where it says "idc, rpm".. and so on). Also, you cannot shut your logger off unless pause has been checked. I hope this helps.

what he means is he hasn't installed the mmcd software in his pda yet and needs help

 

[Munster000]

okay, I got it on the palm now....thanks. Now I'm trying to figure out how to use it. Can you change settings on your car using this? or is it strictly to tell you how your car is running, then based off that you make your changes via safc?

Also, how do I read codes to tell me why my check engine light is on?

Lol...my bad.

Munster000: You'll have to use the safc to actually change the settings, then see how they effect your car using the logger.

 

[speedy_talon28]

also, it read youy engine codes to tell you why the service light is on:

#1 click the mmcd icon

#2 then,in the top left corner click the mmcd box

#3 in the mode box click test

#4 now, you can read or erase DTC's (engine codes to tell you why the service light's on)
and you can test your fuel injectors, fuel system, and solenoids

 

[Munster000]

I don't see how to view the engine codes.....I don't see the "mode box."
Is there somewhere I can see what all the abbreviations mean? most of them are self explanitory, but some I don't know.

Last, I logged a few pulls. What do I do next to view the data? unclick log, then click pause? then I go to the review menu and there is no data there.


Thanks for the help.
