Thanks for the help guys!! Re-burnt the BIN file with VATS off and Manual flag selected and added pin A4 to +12V terminal
got it going and good news I have successfully converted my auto to manual PCM! confirmed it works now

Hoping someone can help with wiring up a test bench for a VS V6 Auto. I have done the following so far: Power- PCM Pins A1, A2, B1, B2 ; Negative terminal on PSU PCM Pins A8, B8 ; Positive terminal PSU Data Connector- ALDL Connector Pin 9 to A3 on PCM ALDL Connector Pin 5 to Negative PSU terminal AL...

Nice! I like the sound of an ATX PSU! Cheap as!!

im trying to setup a test bench for a VS PCM, do I need a variable power supply or can I use a standard supply which delivers a const. 13.8V . Also how much current should it be capable of handling?

my bad..

Thanks for adding the feature The1! Well I've got the latest adx, and xdf in tp5 as well as the latest bin file on my nvram. Now ive added the adaptive spark retard value to the montiors in your adx file. Im getting alot of knock retard without registering any knock. Also im not sure why but the ada...

So if adaptive spark is the function that controls the transition between spark tables, and its been shown (on the bench at least) not to work then, which spark map would be read by default? They are both set to the same values in my current cal so it doesn't matter at present however the plan was t...

Yep that's what I was trying to get an idea of, the actual weighting/percentage of either spark table value that is being blended to get the base spark advance. I think it would help with tuning spark more "safely" coz you could just alter the high octane values roughly to begin with knowi...

The enhanced version of $51. Would it be similar for the other v6 na bins as well?

Is there a parameter that can be read when logging which determines the weighting used for the spark interpolation from being weighted toward the high or low octane table?
