    Default noob question on forcing open loop.

    While I am new to EFI Live, I have a couple of years experience using brand HPT.

    With the scan program from that other software publisher, when you want to force open look you go into the two-way communications stuff (called "VCM Controls" by the other guys) and disable closed loop by selecting "off".

    As best I can determine, that feature is not available with the DVT Control Panel.

    Why is that and is it possible in a future release to make it work?

    On the DVT tab, select E38 as the controller, then goto the Fuel System subtab, and checkmark Fuel Trim Learn and click Disable.

    I think that just disables the LTFT learning ability. I'm pretty sure that does not turn off closed loop, i.e.: with that disabled, the STFT function would continue to work.

    In the same Fuel System subtab there is a box called "fueling mode" , this does open/closed loop.
    It's all good until it goes "Bang"

    With the help of "limited cv8r"--silly me---I finally found it.
    What an odd name for it though..."fueling mode". I had been looking for "loop status" or "closed-open loop" or something more descriptive.

    Once I found it, it works just as I want.

    Thanks, guys!
