calc.pid help

[mr.prick]

I'm trying to make a calc.pid in metric and imperial,

PSI 0 36 0.2 "({SAE.MAP.psi}-{GM.BARO.psi})*0.145"
kPa 0 225 0.2 "(({SAE.MAP.kPa}-{GM.BARO.kPa}))"

I am getting this error.

"SAE.MAP has no value with units psi."

? More information:
Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure {SAE.MAP}

Units: kPa
Range: 0..255 kPa

Units: inHg
Range: 0..36 psi

I recall long ago there was a mismatch between the scan.exe and tune.exe
with inHg and PSI, could there still be a problem or am I writing this wrong?

[mr.prick]

Fixed it :doh:
psi 0 36 0.2 "({SAE.MAP.psi}-{GM.BARO.psi})*0.145"
kPa 0 225 0.2 "(({SAE.MAP.kPa}-{GM.BARO.kPa}))"
:chair:

Damned case sensitive programs. Lol!

[mr.prick]

yeah, lol
The whole "SAE.MAP has no value with units psi." thing threw me off and
I didn't even think to check my sloppy typing.

Units case sensitive, good one, I'll keep that in mind.

why does mine look different then the one in the Calc VE tutorial. I have tried replacing every calc_pids.txt file every different way and no matter what this is what i get.
thanks for any help. This is driving me crazy.

Try the calc_pids.txt file from this post (http://forum.efilive.com/showthread.php?13152-New-Tuning-Tutorial-WeathermanShawn&p=120121&viewfull=1#post120121).

Replace 5.669 with your displacement (in Liters).

Just tried and the same thing. Its as if Scan isnt reading the .txt or only parts. Oh and this same problem happens on another computer as well. Its called Volumetric Efficiency on my 2 computers and when i log, i get a whole bunch of zeros. I want it to look like it does in the tutorial.

[joecar]

Use this calc_pids.txt file (http://forum.efilive.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=7765&d=1272268658).

Did you copy it to My Documents\EFILive\V7.5\User Configuration...?

You won't get exactly the pids shown on page 4 in the tutorial (that page needs to be corrected).

Ok say it is working in scan tool, how come i get the zeros when i log.

[joecar]

You get zeros if you use the displacement() function in the VE_table calc pid... displacement() seems to be returning zero.

Are you using the calc_pids.txt file from post #9...?

When I view your log using my calc_pids.txt I get non-zero values.

i got it to work thanks for all your help. I think it was my mistake so thank you helping me work through it.
