    Default Efi Live Log Not Reflecting Actual Performance

    Just finished my log, but efi live didnt record a host of information. It showed my speed as a constant 36 mph the entire time. It showed my mani KPA as a solid 17.1 the entire time, but the efi dashboard showed the gauge moving down when I pressed down on the pedal.

    Whats up guys?

    I really need some help here.

    The yellow button is real time monitoring (no recording) and the red is record, gonna guess you hit the yellow? If you hit the red, then I am gonna guess its filtered to show what your viewing. If this is the case take out the filters

    The Log Works here.

    You have too many PIDS selected to the scan speed is slowed down.
    35 selected using 42 channels, You want 24 channels or less for best scanning.

    Some PIDs take up two channels, so its not always a one PID = one channel

    Thanks

    do you see that the speed mph and manifold KPA don't change? Is this what is compromised by too many pids?

    would that be because I need to coordinate the values between the scan tool and the tune tool?

    Can they be all metric or all imperal as long as they match?

    Thanks

    It does stay steady (but it does change a couple times if you let it play) do another log with 24 channels. Your logging to many things.

    as I'm messing with it the afr set is the command afr not the lc1 afr

    I'm having to find the correct data to show....

    I will reduce the pids and relog, can I get a little help with the short list of critical pids to doubel check my selection?

    Thanks

    Did you:
    - enter the correct VIN/OS...?
    - enter the correct PCM...?
    - validate pids...?

    Do reduce your pid count to 24 (or less) channels (4 packets).

    Is your log captured using V1 BBL mode...?
    If so, then after doing the above steps you have to reprogram the pids into the V1 again.
