PCM Flash to Grand-AM Cup PCM
I need advise on tuning a PCM.
We have replaced a 400CI with LS6 Heads (550HP / 510 torque) to a 383CI stroked with LS6 Heads. The new engine has lower compression (around 11 or higher) while the old was slightly higher. Same intake, injector, headers. Cam is close to the last Engine.
I read the PCM and Changed the CI parameter and had to perform a full flash because the Grand-Am racing PCM did not have a serial number. We have not proceeded with the crank sensor learning.
Current results: Engine cranks and idles at 1600 RPM although the desired idle is at 1000 RPM. The MAP and MAF values are within allowable range. I believe that the rational test fails which triggers the MAF P code. We do not have O2 sensors installed for sensor 2 and are disabled in PCM but we do have sensor 1 installed for both bank 1 and 2. The values at idle of the O2 sensors seems real low (.0020 mV). The command AFR is set for 13.5. The fuel learning is enabled but are resulting in 0%.
This is a road race car and we are expecting around 510Hp with 475 foot pounds of torque.
Question: Does low mV readings from O2 sensors reflect lean or rich? What is the best plan to start tuning?
More Info about flash failure
The reason why I can not perform a tune flash and am required to perform a full flash is because the PCM serial number is all zeros. How can I get a Serial Number into the PCM?
Here is some data from EFI LIVE:

Full flash -results and data
I performed a full flash with a stock operating system. I added my VIN number and then read the PCM. I changed the VE table and flashed cal changes. EFI required me to purchase another license which I did. That is another conversation.
This is where I am now. We replaced the cracked FAST intake due to GM valley cover bolts pushing on bottom of the aftermarket FAST intake. After correcting intake, car is idling correct and seems to be running better but needs a lot of adjusting to open loop.
After 15 seconds after start, I get flashing check engine light. Only P1689 and P1541 codes that are for traction control. I imagine that it is flashing MIL due to values from O2 sensors 1 bank 1 and 2. O2 sensors 2 bank 1 and 2 are removed.
Engine Information:
Largely ported and polished heads (243),
Cam has lift and dur. greater than 2006 Z06 specs.
hooks headers
Z06 injectors
383 CI
3" exhaust, no cats, no mufflers
I am attaching my tune file and logged data. I appreciate any advise on changing settings to correct.
Thanks!
12212156 is the base for COS5
Rusty,
You don't use boost or nitrous, so I don't think COS5 will help you...
The other features of COS5 may not help you either:
- open loop AFR table is indexed by MAP vs RPM (instead of ECT vs RPM);
- includes Alpha-N VE table indexed by TP vs RPM (in addition to the normal VE table);
- allows semi-open loop (SOL) which uses STFT to trim to stoich.
I really don't think any of those will help you...
so I suggest to keep developing 12221588 which is working for you.
Cheers
Joe
