Newbie with LC1 and V2, install questions and help please

[thunderstruck507]

I have the controller wired in to ground and 12v, and am using a TAQquickness serial cable.

When I first connected it and turned it on it did heater calibration and everything then went to a screen that says Free Air and a percentage.

It keeps jumping from 20.8-20.9%. If I hit "OK" it says W02 Not Found.

Am I doing it wrong?

V2 "setup" select LC-1 as controller type .
Good read ; http://forum.efilive.com/showthread.php?13823-Connecting-LC1-to-V2 scroll down to bottom of page related post (similar threads) are listed there .
20.8 to 20.9 is free air reading , normal .

Thanks, I turned the car on shortly after that post and discovered I was just dumb.

Glad you got it working :cheers:

The instruction just kind of cut off after the air calibration. No hints as how long or short it would take...when it started it looked like the percentage was counting down so I was thinking it was freezing at that percentage.

The first setup instructions seemed otherwise specific so I was afraid of doing it wrong. Just another case of me making a mountain out of a mole hill...the whole mystic of tuning has me over thinking some things and being overly cautious it seems. Time to do some heavy reading on how to start this tuning process. I'm excited, especially knowing the car is rich enough the tune should help wake up the new head/cam combo even more.

Hey Thunder,

Have a read of this (post #1 is the tutorial): A-New-Twist-on-CALC.-VE-Table..Computing-the-Entire-VE-Table (http://forum.efilive.com/showthread.php?15236-A-New-Twist-on-CALC.-VE-Table..Computing-the-Entire-VE-Table).

Thanks! I will read that one in down time at work today.

I also have the EFI Master Tuner book, from what I've read and thumbed through of it, it looks like a great book.

joecar: in this thread (http://ls1tech.com/forums/pcm-diagnostics-tuning/1478969-installed-lc-1-w-serial-connection-but-efi-live-not-reading-signal.html) you mention the PID for logging a/f as WO2BEN or EXT.WO2BEN

I only messed with EFI live for a moment but even after copying the file into the folder as directed I could not find PIDs by either of those names. Will they not show up in the available list until I do something else? I had a couple which clearly referred to a wideband o2 but they weren't named anything like those you mentioned and I haven't tried using them yet.

Are you running WinXP or Win7 (Win7 has a slightly different folder name).

You copied the file calc_pids.txt to the User Configuration folder...?

After you copied the file, did you exit/restart the scantool...?

On the PIDs tab, click on the column heading "Caption" (this sorts the pid list alphabetically on this column), then scroll down while viewing this column until you see the pid WO2BEN.

The other wideband BEN pid(s) use GM.AFR which we're trying to avoid.
