well guys im a newbie when it comes to ecm link. i just finally got my new cable today and was able to get it hooked up to my car. well i hooked it up and started my ECM libnk application, I think i set my TPS and my fuel injectors correctly. and i did a log at idle with a few full throttle swings they just dont look to good to me wanted to post them up and have some ppl take a look at them and tell me what they think and what i should do next

What fuel injectors do you have? You have deadtime added but no global fuel. Watch the set-up videos from ecmlink. You have a lot of knock just revving up. You can set the tps with the engine off just in the acc position and do 3 100% throttle. Your tps should be at .63 not .57

I just have stock 450cc in it right now I typed in 450 in the injector sizing. And when it does the auto compensate or whatever do I have to take that value and put it in the global fuel? And I thought I needed to do a little more adjustment with the TPS...and the O2 values don't look right to me I thought they were supposed to fluctuate up and down constantly? And I was wondering why all the knock just raving it up...but the injectors are stock, stock 14b, stock pump, and an AFPR set at 37psi with the vac line off. And I have no boost leaks what so ever.
 
Ok, zero out the fuel deadtime as stock injectors don't need it. Also try the tps with the car off and that should get you to .63 and 0 on throttle open when idling. Did you maf comp adjust or just add your own adjustments. If you did by yourself zero those out as well and log the right tools needed. Watch the videos and read what needs to be captured and displayed and make a new idle log.
 
Yea I set it to stock 1g MAF and also selected the setting for hacked MAF as mine is hacked. I have everything to convert to SD just don't have a bung welded in my DP for my wideband so it's not hooked up yet
 
ok guys I tried to fix my throttle position I think I did too but I just went for about a 10min ride in the car while streaming a log and here it is tell me what you guys think....at the end there I started to get some decent knock and I have my CEL to flash at more than 5 degrees of knock...but check the log out tell me what u think I need to change or fix

You didn't zero the fuel deadtime and maf comp. Also adjust your tps with the engine off by the key position on acc, as your still at .57 not .63. Do the basics first seriously zero everything out and go from there. Start with idle log before cruise. Check your knock sensor to see if its bolted down tight enough or leaking goo out.
 
I'm kind of illiterate when it comes to this ECMlink I watched the ECM link initial setup video like 10 times and I guess I'm still not doing this crap right...I almost wish there was someone in my neck of the woods that could just set this up for me cuz I kno I'm just gonna keep ****ing this up and prolly doing damage to the car I thought I zeroed that stuff out cuz it said zero but I guess I'm wrong like I said I'm really illiterate when it comes to this ECM link
 
Under the fuel settings go to global deadtime where you have it at 210 set it to 0. Under your mafcomp tab set everything back to zero on the right side column or move the sliders down to even line at 0. Tps turn key over to last position before cranking over, leave there and connect to ecmlink and push throttle to 100% three times and then right click run tps adjust and save changes.
 
yeA ok I'm trying to figure out the maf comp right now I set it to stock and to hacked maf and it like adjust the table for me so should I use that table that it makes for me?
 
This is not the forum for this topic.
There are issues that the OP should already have looked at before posting a log asking for advice (IE- TPS adjustment or wide band). I assume the OP also has checked out the tutorials and videos on the ECMTuning site. Please check out this thread: http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/wa...r-receive-no-replies-from-the-wisemen.443297/

When you create a new thread in the tuning forum, there will be a questionnaire that you will need to copy/paste with your responses. These are very helpful to take care of pre-existing issues before tuning.

In the mean time, check out these helpful videos as an additional resource:

That 15+ knock of count @ 4600 RPM is not good at all my friend.

Then you have 12+ knock @ 2700PM in your log 2 when your driving.

You should install your wideband before doing any spirited driving.
 
I'm just gonna Obama rig my wide band bung in my DP somehow and I'm just gonna pay someone to do the ECM link stuff for me or find someone local that knows what they are doing to help me out cuz I'm not dealing with this crap and having to constantly post up stuff to figure this crap out when half the time I just get blasted anyways. Sorry I'm illiterate guys and a dumb ***k.... I'll just do like I said and pay someone to do it or find someone locally that knows what they are doing cuz I will end up ****ing something up or causing serious damage to something by messing with it myself. The car idles an pulls hard to 6500 so I'll leave it how it is for now untill I find someone that I can pay to do it for me.

two things are a must with dsm link pull out your 02 put in wideband and simulate signal to ecu pin wideband to ecu for log very easy. and download off ecmlink evo8 base timing maps for start that will help you and anyone trying to help you out. this is what you need to focus on nothing else

I'm sorry I don't have any input for you. My Dsm link is on its way hopefully be here Wednesday. I just wanted to say that reading your thread helped me in things to look for.

A lot of people get butthurt about posting stuff like this. When in reality it's these kinds of questions that help me the most. I've been working on these cars for over a year and still haven't driven one. This isn't a jab or poke at anyone so don't get overly sensitive. After all we are all men on board learning about cars.

This is going to be one of those things that you're going to want to learn. So far everyone has said something helpful so take that and run with it. Someone even offered real time help via Facebook. Don't get discouraged because you feel like you don't know anything about DSMlink. How many people do you know that hack into their cars computer to make it faster?

So don't worry about being blasted. Some people may think it's a waste of time but people like me that are still learning who are in a similar boat will always be thankful for these types of threads.

Obama rig is my new favorite saying.

Also just wanted to thank everyone for their patience when it comes to things like this. Given the DSMlink forum is the best place to go I'd imagine, but sometimes dsmtuners is just your home base comfort zone. Have a kick ass Labor Day weekend folks. Thanks again for making this site what it is.

This is also helping me out also, as I am getting away with ECU flashing. Link is more user friendly I have found out. Now that doesn't mean it's easy, but I'm sure when I get link in my car I will be on same boat as you. :idontknow: Also about bashing my mamma always told me about sticks and stones :D Don't give up :thumb:

You got exactly what you have asked for. You have been a member on this site long enough to know that research is key. The tuning forum on this site even has an ECMLink section on this site for members to receive help. You cannot safely tune a vehicle when it has pre-existing issues. The questionnaire I was referring to in a previous post serves to help eliminate very common issues when one encounters a problem dialing in a tune.

You seem to take no appreciation for those who have taken the time to respond to you with helpful information. It feels more like you are blasting those who have been trying to help you. Hopefully you will decide to take some of the advice given even though it isn't what you wanted to hear.

One last piece of advice:

You leave your car the way it is doing 6500 pulls, you will cause some serious damage........
