    Default calc.pid help

    I'm trying to make a calc.pid in metric and imperial,

    PSI 0 36 0.2 "({SAE.MAP.psi}-{GM.BARO.psi})*0.145"
    kPa 0 225 0.2 "(({SAE.MAP.kPa}-{GM.BARO.kPa}))"

    I am getting this error.

    "SAE.MAP has no value with units psi."

    ? More information:
    Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure {SAE.MAP}

    Units: kPa
    Range: 0..255 kPa

    Units: inHg

    Range: 0..36 psi

    I recall long ago there was a mismatch between the scan.exe and tune.exe
    with inHg and PSI, could there still be a problem or am I writing this wrong?

    Damned case sensitive programs. Lol!

    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T
    MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE
    DUCT TAPE.
    IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

    yeah, lol
    The whole "SAE.MAP has no value with units psi." thing threw me off and
    I didn't even think to check my sloppy typing.

    Try the calc_pids.txt file from this post.

    Replace 5.669 with your displacement (in Liters).

    Just tried and the same thing. Its as if Scan isnt reading the .txt or only parts. Oh and this same problem happens on another computer as well. Its called Volumetric Efficiency on my 2 computers and when i log, i get a whole bunch of zeros. I want it to look like it does in the tutorial.

    Use this calc_pids.txt file.

    Did you copy it to My Documents\EFILive\V7.5\User Configuration...?

    You won't get exactly the pids shown on page 4 in the tutorial (that page needs to be corrected).
