I have been trying to log an E38 ECM with limited success.
24 PIDs selected (36 channels used) and it won't log any frames.?!?
Also, to verify the function of the flex fuel capability I would like to be able to see the calculated E85 percentage. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks

You may have a PID selected that isn't supported. One by one try switching them off until you start seeing data. (Turn one off - try to log - turn another off - etc.) While I have an E67, I have found a few times that I'll select a PID and it will just sit there and never send me an error message. I don't know if this is a bug in EFILive and/or they are not catching a failed PID request?
Once you start logging track back the PID's you disabled and figure out which one causes the problem.

Also you may want to limit the number of channels used because you may be exceeding the limit in which case it will not always log data.

And last but not least try different types of Scan Modes. Switch over to Dynamic and see if that cleans things up.
