asking before I screw up Dsmlink help

[PIMking]

I cant remember but I thought I saw something that I can ground out the ecu with dsmlink
to set the timing and base idle. Do I just click ground and then adjust that stuff? Or do I not. I just dont want to fry something.

Just go into the miscellaneous section and click on grnd timing while you set the base timing. You don't need to ground anything for the idle adjustment. Just adjust the biss until your idle is close to your target idle. Make sure to click on grnd timing again once you are done. Also make sure the engine is fully warmed up when you are doing both of these.

My idle is surging like it did before. I have it set like you said.

I would check for vacuum leaks. Your o2 sensor is acting wierd too.How old is it?

 

[PIMking]

the o2 is pretty old. If you remember I asked about it readings. If it read only when the car was up to temp.

I will have to check fo r vacume leaks tomarrow because its getting dark.

thanks.

well for somereason I cant find the log that I just did I drove around on the highway and the o2 jumped from .14-.75

and it saved the file in some weird c7by4n6l and I cant find it to upload it so you can see.

I dont get the Idle surge. but I will check the vacuum tomarrow.
