Interactive Tutorials

[Tordne]

A number of interactive tutorials have been produced and are now available from the EFILive Documentation/Tutorials (http://www.efilive.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=130&Itemid=134) page.

These take you through some of the very common tasks that we perform regularly with our tools. It will also help answer a number of the support related questions.

The list will continue to be expanded.

We'd like to say a big thank you to Chad (Black02SS) who has put these together for us!

[mr.prick]

Connect Flashscan to vehicle and PC> Power up Flashscan (key on)>
Open EFILive Tune V7.5> Read PCM (Ctrl+PgUp) Green arrow> Save as (Ctrl+T).

thanks alot mr.prick! i paid good money for that tune ( which is incorrect) but i don't wanna loose it! can you believe that my stock setup with 171k ran the same number as my head, cam, header, y-pipe and tune up runs now?

Can someone edit this page to point to a "EFILive Downloads" URL that works?

Hi Rich, try now.

That did it! Thanks! I finally got my car back into running condition (after 2.5 years) and had Mike Carnahan tune it for me. So I need to figure out this EFILive stuff now to do the fine tuning. And I need all the tutorial help I can get..... :)

OK, I'm trying to work through these tutorials, but hitting snags.

I just tried to do the example presented in the "How to Create a Map", video tutorial, and hit a brick wall. I was at the point where I was to right click on the VE table and Copy with Labels, which I did, but just got an error message saying "TEfiStringGrid.GetData(c): -1 out of range: 0..18."

So what did I do wrong?

[joecar]

Rich, do you have V7 build 211...?

Can you post a screenshot of that...

[Rich Z]

I think that I may have figured it out. I believe the values in the tune file table and the map table were different.

And yes, I am using the latest version numbers that were available for download. I believe I did the upgrade a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks.

Also, you could use the pids from the Calc.VET thread (meaning that you would use the pid WO2BEN instead of what the AutoVE tutorial says)


( yes, the tutorial needs to be updated and modernized )

Ok thanks I'm still learning . trying to get VEs closer is this a good place to start?
