    Default fuel gauge segment swap 98 pcm

    Ok so I did some searching on here about this and got my fuel gauge to work my car is a 98 trans am with the 411 pcm swap car runs great with my operating system 09381344 now when I do a full flash and change to the 02 Camaro os 12212156 My fuel gauge works but my car barley runs at all I have copy pasted all the parameters which was a pain in the rear but still wont run good with that os loaded in the computer. I keep getting a mass airflow sensor performance problem and when I check the 5 volt reference at it I get 11volts on the plug but its only got 5 volts on the 09381344 os. Is there a way to do the fuel segment swap on my current os?

    F0504 looks highly unusual ... have you been using another tuning software in an attempt to get this working ?

    no, I have only been using efi live I found that os 2156 on here while doing a search for the fuel segment swap and the fuel gauge works good with that like that but the engine runs like crap, If I keep the 1344 os my car runs good idles and doesn't act weird but once I change the os to the 2156 it goes crazy but the fuel gauge works from fuel to empty

    That's odd .. the "1344" tune you posted also depicts the transmission type as "255". Either that tune is somehow corrupt, yet functional, or the Hex has been altered. Either way, I won't touch it with a ten foot pole.

    If you put a stock / unaltered 2000 Camaro OS (09381344) back in the PCM, perhaps I could help with the fuel gage.

    were did you find the transmission type ? im running a turbo 400 so it really doesn't matter about the transmission but ill get you a 2000 Camaro file. But why cant I change my operating system to the 2156 are the pin outs different from one os to another?

    OK ... you can change to 2002 OS 12212156 ... but, you will need to copy over many of the tables from the other tune.

    As far "getting me" a 2000 Camaro tune file - I have more than enough of these. My point in post #4 was that I won't alter a tune that has already to been subject to questionable (non-EFILive) changes - it becomes an accident waiting to happen.

    I have only used efi live on this computer nothing else this computer came out of a 2000 s10 so I did a full flash on it to a 2000 manual Camaro os 1344. But if I do a full flash of an 02 Camaro os12212156 os the car runs like crap if at all because like a said my 5 volt reference at the maf goes from 5volts to 11 volts with that 2156 os why I have no clue. after doing the swap I copied over all the tables and this still doesn't help because it makes my maf sensor go crazy. Do the operating systems change the outputs on the ecu?

    but if you can send me a 2000 tune file with the 1344 os with the fuel segment swap I will try it and switch all of my tables into that tune and see if my car will run right
