Tuning 101 - Thread Merged with Injector Posts
I don't ever have my laptop when I usually have time to look on here. Whatever DAC, AEB and VDH are. Those seem to be the ones I've needed and therefore bought thus far, plus whatever a 2000 excursion is. Whatever codes those are, that's what I've got. The little number codes for the...- Charles

No full-auto trans strategy can ever be right except under one condition. Full-manual auto is the answer. You select the gears when you want, like a ZF, but without having to run a trans that sucks. I'm considering having the clutch pedal run the converter lockup and using a standard H...- Charles

Fwiw, I was reminded of just how crappy mainstream tuning can be on Friday. I was cruising along and when a lane opened up in front of me I stepped out and scooted along at probably 50% power when I saw a superduty back behind me coughing smoke out both sides and going nowhere. Apparently he...- Charles

At least you've got the maneuverability down now so that you can direct that turbine outlet toward the big first stage turbo later when you get bored with that noise maker and want to make some power! Compounds will make power so early you can punch the rods through the sides of the block at...- Charles

I'm saying that using the quarterhorse to pull down the file from the pcm is using the very thing we're wondering about corrupting files to produce the file you're comparing against to check the corruption, lol. If it's corrupting files then it could very well corrupt that one just the same...- Charles

Probably can't use the variable to check the variable... My Tweeccer module went bananas one time (or I did) and I couldn't get power to save my life. I ended up going back to really old files and starting over again. Somewhere along the line something got saved wrong was all I could ever...- Charles

Get Bill to pull the file off that PCM. Or ask him if he already knows WTF is going on. Bill can actually retrieve the code from that PCM if you had the time to send it to him, although he might already know what's going on and be able to avoid that.- Charles

Exactly. That's all I wanted to make sure you were accounting for. I have actually had my template off before (my own mistake) and went through a lot of crap before I figured it out.- Charles

But when you test it "Stock"... that is still with the quarterhorse "chip" IN the PCM and with the "Stock" file loaded on it right? I just wanted to make sure you weren't pulling the chip to switch back and forth between stock and modified because the eeprom on the PCM board could have a...- Charles

Are you burning the stock program to the same chip or whatever you're using or are you just pulling the chip/flash module? If you're pulling it, I would suggest actually burning the stock file to the chip to make sure there's not an addressing/corruption problem happening when you're writing to...- Charles

There's not.... you just kept mentioning that rpm range so I wanted to know what pw value you were seeing. RPM is indirectly related in that MFD and ICP can be limited based on rpm, which will pull pw down with it. What nozzle are you tuning? Flat to the floor 1.5 actually seems low. Is it...- Charles

For a race program that doesn't deal with varied conditions you might just negate any temp stuff you find, but be aware, especially in the fuel temp stuff this will require substantial remapping of the fuel in the main pulsewidth map because the multiplier is nearly NEVER 1.0! Fwiw, I found...- Charles

Why can't you start with what works.... the stock program? I gave up trying to fix screwed up programs years ago. If one works better than another, I don't even consider correcting the bad one. Life's too short. And when it comes to programs modified by God-knows-who... there's a lot of...- Charles

All you need is the same nozzle. Just tune the same nozzle on any available platform and the changes will carry over. You're looking for broad conceptual changes related to response and primarily off-boost attitude. Those issues will not care much about anything but the nozzle and state of...- Charles

If you can't drive it up and down the road.... you can't drive it up and down the road.... (I would drive it up and down the road and tune it in, lol) So aside from that.... all you're really tuning is a nozzle, not a cantankerous vehicle. Tune that same nozzle in your pickup and swap the...- Charles

That's why I said I would find some backroads and tune the thing in. It will take 1000 times longer at the track if ever... At the track you can't exactly roll in it, roll out.... look at the scanner, roll back in, look in the mirror, look back at the scanner, coast, roll back in, yada, yada...- Charles

It's a tough gig.... but I would highly recommend throwing every altered file you have away and starting from dead stock. Reference the others for ideas. I have spent years dealing with issues written into the files by others and I never even knew it. Some of the earlier files were just...- Charles

Obviously you would have to open it with your tuning software. I've uploaded multiple files in this thread. I think that one was on page 87. On Edit: There's nothing wrong with that one. It opens fine on my laptop and I made that link on my desktop at my office, so it is a good link...- Charles

Quoting a post with an attachment does not bring the attachment. Hopefully the below link will prompt you to save the file. I uploaded this a while back, I think it may have been the last one I uploaded. It will suffice for something to look at. PCM is AEB. I do not recall the weird number...- Charles

It is ICP. I thought you were asking about the ICP map after I said make sure it's flat as rpm climbs to keep the truck "linear" feeling instead of it "running away" as rpm climbs. You can look at everything if you open the actual tuning file. I don't know where in this thread they are. Is...- Charles
