First tune record - help a newbie

[68problemchild]

Hey guys. I have my l92 into a 68 camaro.

Sent out for a tune and bought EFI live V2 and scan tool.

Car will crank and wont start. I have been getting to this point for over a year now.

Someone suggested "check security systems in the ECU disable" in the file.

I can plug in the scan tool and it works. Just need to learn how to read the file and up load to you guys. Its a custom tune from Geoff at Engine power systems.

Can you guys help me get this file read onto EFI live scan tool and upload it?




Thanks so much. Just dying to start the car.

Hello 68problemchild,

A 6.2 L Gen IV in a ’68 Camaro will be a great driver when you’re done !

I do mainly Gen III / LS1-B type conversions - but have an L92 6L80E conversion booked in for year end - so I’ve been trying to get up to speed.

What transmission are you using with the L92 ? I take it you are using an E38 ECM ? Do you have original ECM from the 6.2 L donor vehicle ?


Regards,
Taz

4L70E. Original ECM.

Just need to get the software from the car to the programmer to turn of the security. Other posts are putting software to the car, not the other way around.
I sent out the computers to be programmed.


Installed latest software.

V2 scanner error after F3 format file sys

"Card not formatted, please reformat card before using"

OK ….. a little confused ….

The L92 was a 6.2 L truck engine, first introduced in 2007. It was originally equipped with 6L80E or 6L90E transmissions. These transmissions use the T43 TCM. The 4L70E you have will use a T42 TCM - and I don’t believe it was ever offered with the L92.

In your original post it seemed that you believed your “no start” condition was “security” related (VATS) and you wanted assistance with disabling this, so the engine would start.

If you were tuning the E38 yourself, the parameters in G1204 - G1216 (VATS) would need to be adjusted and a VATS patch applied, to disable the VATS.

You mentioned you have a custom tune - did the tuner not already disable the VATS ? This would normally be part of a custom tune for an engine transplant.

68. Are you trying to black box read the file from the pcm?
Are you formatting the SD card from the V2 unit or with the V8 software?

[68problemchild]

Sorry guys, newbie here. Yes. Trying to black box read from the PCM. Formatting the card right now with the V8.

On the tranny, Geoff at Engine Power Systems was aware of the 4L70E. Its a custom program and I had to buy a new TCM (t42?) to make it work. Geoff programmed both. If I can get it up loaded to you all, you can take a look to see if security is on.

Geoff said he probably turned it (security) off but he wrote this back in April so does not recall. Of course its Friday night so not asking him to go back and work on it here.

Needless to say the installation has taken some time to get this far.

I personally do not have the knowledge to modify the VATS but I am trying to learn.

Let me know what i need to do and I will do it.

Thanks so much for helping.

Which SD card do you have...?


Which versions of V7/V8, and which version of V2 firmware.

[joecar]

To black box read from your controller:
first, run the S&T software, goto Black Box Settings, goto Tune Settings, and select your controller, Save to file, Program to V2.

See this thread: showthread.php?14351-BBL-PIDs-V2

The card is a Optima SC HC, 60 HD 4gb. It from my daughters camera but it fits. Downloaded newest versions of software last night. 8.1.2. Build 111
the other is version v7.5.6 (build 114)

FIRMWARE VERSION 2.06.34

Will try suggestions above.

Thank you.
