Re: New to ECU Modifacations
Got the jumpers on the NVRAM setup for 6 cyl and in jumper mode, or if in memcal mode got a memcal plugged in??benk wrote:Tried a few different tune and all seemed to work fine, also tried the $12P tune that I modified for the VN but it seam to be running to rich, am looking into it to see if there is anything obvoius that I have missed.
Re: New to ECU Modifacations
This is the new adaptor that I have on the way

it is ment to read from 300 baud to 300k baud so I hope it will do
I am going to have a bit more of a look at the $12P code today, it runs ok but stutters on acceleration and has black smoke comming out the exhaust
, a good sign of overfueling

I think that it is in the $12P program that I have modified, I loaded the AWUY code in and ran fine but will check that I have all the links in the correct placeVL400 wrote:Got the jumpers on the NVRAM setup for 6 cyl and in jumper mode, or if in memcal mode got a memcal plugged in??

Re: New to ECU Modifacations
got any logs of the 12p running ?
No matter what the question is, the answer is always more horsepower! 
Just starting out? Have a read of the getting started guide

Re: New to ECU Modifacations
no, I have to wait for another week or so for my USB adaptor before I can connect to it 

Re: New to ECU Modifacations
found out why the engine was running rich on the $12P tune, I had the wrong number in the hex offset and it was actualy running in limp home mode
Now have to go back to the original code and start again as I have changed a lot of settings to try and get it running leaner and now it is way to lean- can't wait till I can actualy log it and see what is going on

Re: New to ECU Modifacations
I did the exact thing myself 2 nights ago -- burnt to the start of a 512k and wondered why it was runnin up to shit
its easy to do

Re: New to ECU Modifacations
Lucky I kept a copy of the original $12P code that I Modded for the VN fitted it today and looks like I'm not far off the correct tune. IT sutters a little when cold but seems to run pritty good everywhere else
Re: New to ECU Modifacations
what tables do I have to look at to adjust the AFR when cold and do I have to increase the values or decrease them to make it richer when the engine is cold?
It is running ok once it has reached operating temp

Re: New to ECU Modifacations
Is it running poorly when cold only as you touch the throttle or the whole time?
