    I'm not overly familiar with Rotella oils but from what I understand it's a diesel engine oil which can be used in gas engines, but it's still formulated for diesel engines. You should be using a 5W30 or a 10W30 formulated for gasoline engines. I don't think your engine noise is from using Rotella oil, but strange things happen so I wouldn't rule it out.

    The engine noise is probably more related to your misfire issue.

    Stock pushrods should still be checked for correct length (do this by measuring how much preload is present on lifter).

    well?? this sight has restrictions on loading a map from it's own program??? how does that work??

    I think Calc.vet works better if you don't fail the MAF.

    Well, that certainly explains that!! I definitely overlooked it. Thank you for taking the time to look at it. This truck is a frankinstine, and I get to questioning everything, which gets me confused. Thank you again

    Post #1 here: Calc-VET-correcting-MAF-and-calculating-VE-(in-single-log)


    Hint: look at stock 2001/2002 F-car file to see how MAF is enabled.

    NOW!! I'm getting good numbers, next replace a bad "new" u joint, then get the tune set for logging. hopefully finally get this finished, and quit bothering you guys. lol

    I do have an off subject question, where do we, or can we adjust the fuel prime time. when you turn the key on and the pump runs to build pressure before start?

    ok I have gone line by line reading the " Calc.VET: correcting MAF and calculating VE (in single log) " then I read the summary notes. In the Summary Notes there are references to setting PE rich enough to protect the motor, (not in the CALC.VET section). If I read it "all" correctly I am tuning for VE, so if I setup the tune correctly, VE should be disabled, therefore making the "richen up VE a moot point?

    Am I correct in this thought?

    Also, somewhere I thought that there were additional, data parameters ( as in B0701) that should be set, does anyone know which ones??

    I am coming at this trip as if I had never seen EFILive before, so that I'm not Jaded with miss-conceptions. hopefully get it right this time!!


    P.S. I finally have all of the mechanical and electrical issues solved, she runs really good for not being tuned.
