First off, Thank you Gofer for helping me! I sincerely appreciate it.

One thing I will have to figure out is how to post datalog. Don't know how to pull the file from link yet.

I just noticed yesterday that ISCpos is 0 at operating temp, and can't be adjusted w BISS. It jumpts to 90 or so when warming up. Checked resistance 1-2 2-3 4-5 5-6 and they're all 30. I supplied 6V volts to 2-5 and grounded 3-6 and it twitches. Haven't performed the thumb test. So this I'm guessing would have to be resolved first.

Backstory
I bought this car a month ago and I've done all the basics. Maintenance, fixed boost leaks, timing is 5 degrees BTDC when grounded. So now I'm in the process of basic tuning w V2 which it came with (was told it had V3). I purchased the update yesterday so I will remove it and send it back to ECMTuning right after I post this. Below are the mods it has, and I have verified them.

Big 16G
2G MAF
RC550
Walbro 250 w new screen filter & fuel filter & rewired also. Stock regulator isn't leaking, so I'm guessing the FP is correct. 36psi from what I've read.
FMIC
AEMWB in the rear - think it's an older one bc I don't see P4 on the back that I've read about.

I'll have to dive back in this when I get V3 back, so I won't have an update or checks, for about a week unless it's something I can do without the board.

COMBINE FT ISSUE
So here is the issue besides ISCpos. Airflowperrev is .25-.27 and all Idle readings are correct - Switch, TPS, Throttle%. But the CombinedFT is -20% in closed loop. I've tried removing deadtime and the only thing it did was change RPMs & come in and out of closed loop more frequently. All are full operating temps.

Sorry this was so long.

Is there an app on iPhone for DMStuners?

Many Thanks!
Tony

ANNOTHER QUESTION

AEMWB is installed in the rear and wired to ECU as frontO2. Is this correct, or should I wire the factory O2 signal back in? I've read it gets lazy since it's further down the line. Could this be a reason why I can't dial in combinedFT?

Hi Tony, start a stream/datalog when the car is fully warmed up. Let it stream for a minute then stop the stream and save the file. Come here and upload that file to your post.

Is your stock o2 sensor hooked up? Or is it being "simulated" in link?

Another problem. Should I start another thread?

Hi Vegas! Vegas we have a problem! haha I'll have fix this first. Wait for V3 and start another datalog.
Yes. It is hooked up but not to ECU. Previous owner ran the signal wire from AEMWB in place of front O2

I couldn't figure out how to take the datalog/stream out of Link and onto this page. Thanks!

This wire is the signal wire from AEMWB

Wired back the stock O2 to the ECU. Got V3 yesterday, and base tune is set now. Logged a 3rd gear pull at lunch and there's 14 degrees knock retard. I'll start another thread with datalog at 5pm when I get off work.
