When i search for info on MAFT .. i get people talking about base, idle, mid, and wot... but i dont see anything but base and wot on my MAFT...

so my question is what am i looking at here.. the four knobs from left to right are set at 0,3,0,4..... 750cc injectors, 3" GM MAF , and an unknown chip in the ECU that says 750cc on it..
Sorry about the backwards pic .. i forgot to correct it

Unknown chip looks like it was socketed somewhere, check out fullthrottletech.com for maft information, also, look on the inside of the box i sold mine forgot how it looked.
 
If the chip is set for 750's than zero everything out on the maf. The car will run very lean with the maf set for 750's if the ecu is already programmed for them.
 
So definitely set all the knobs to zero and get a data logger.. ok

But whats with the knobs... the 2 on the left say Base and WOT for MAF and the 2 on the right say Base and WOT for Spark... thats why i was having trouble unerstanding the Base, Idle, Mid, High explanations in other threads.
 
your knobs are labeled differently then mine, and differently from the manual and the ones iv seen on other cars. the translator for a dsm doesnt control spark at all. are you sure the translator you have is the correct one?

from the manual. and this is how mine is labeled.
The Translator has the following controls:
MODE SWITCH a 4 section dip switch for setting the basic vehicle/translator parameters.
BASE this 16 position (0-F) dial is used to set the general airflow scaling. This adjustment affects the
entire operating range and is generally used to match the Translator and MAF to the selected injector size.
IDLE This 16 position (0-F) dial is used to adjust the airflow signal during engine idle conditions. It can
also be used to compensate for modified PCV (crankcase vent), fuel pressure setups.
MID - This 16 position (0-F) dial is used to adjust the airflow signal during moderate acceleration
conditions. This mode is active between 1 and 8 psi boost (approximate)
WOT (WOT=WideOpenThrottle) This 16 position (0-F) dial is used to adjust the airflow signal during
heavy acceleration conditions. This mode is active above 8 psi boost (approximate)
AUX - This 16 position (0-F) dial is used to adjust the airflow signal during heavy acceleration conditions
when the purple TRIGGER wire is activated. This mode is active above 8 psi boost (approximate)
 
Running all the settings at 0 will give me a more rich A/F and switching them higher will lean it out ?
 
ive been on on the bailey engineering website and they have instructions for Rev 1.3 and nothing to match what i have on my translator Rev 1.7 which clearly has a different dial setup... if i could get a link that matches i would better understand
