Hi I am new to all this and was wondering what the fuel balance rates mean? I have new exergy 100 hp injectors and some injectors are 2 away from eachother or sometimes even 0. I would like to know if I have 2 bad injectors or is there a reason the injectors are dumping more or less fuel? This is a completely different question but monitoring trans. temp in efi live, does it read in the valve body or where exactly is it reading the temp at? I have a new sun coast with mag pan, i deleted the stock trans cooler and put in a tru cool that is rated for about 40,000 gvw and just cruising down the highway my temp is at 180-183 and that is on a 74 degree day.

+/- 2.0 IMO indicates good injector health.

ECM reads VB temp.

That's great thanks alot, I was really worried. Do you have any input on my transmission temp? If the temp is read inside the valve body I'm sure that would be alot higher than having a probe in a pan, but I just want to be sure.

VB temp is same as pan temp, nothing more than a average temp AFTER the coolers.

Converter temp (hot line to coolers) provides a more real-time temp and will show drastic temp fluctuations when locked up vs unlocked.

So my trans temp lines going into the cooler is probably really hot? Do you have any experience with the temp probe you can install around the hot line going to the cooler? I was getting ready to put my probe into the pan, but I might hod off on that. Would you think there is a reason my trans is getting so hot, only thing I can think of is that crappy trans cooler. Any rating over 30,000 GVW should be plenty, but that is not the case in my trans.

I can see up to a 50* diff between the two when unlocked.

Converter temp will always be hotter when unlocked but when locked it will be even or slightly cooler than pan temp.

My vb temp is ~100-110* above ambient and when locked my converter temp is ~80-100* above ambient.
