Idle Tuning with new pids (calc pid file included

[joecar]

huh :?: First post page one is the file I used. If you are talking about the message i sent bink it being worked on

oh, I thought it was altered; please disregard, I misread, my assumption, sorry.
:oops:

[Highlander]

i am still getting a slot not found... even after a few changes.. file seems to be correct... so dont know what is happening

[Highlander]

never mind i fixed it.. there is a section that has to be pasted under the slot part not the units parts... mine looks like this

Trap for young players #1:
I was testing the "problem" (fixed now I see) and cut/pasted the pid details into my calc_pids.txt file. I did not have a new line after the last line of the file and EFILive dropped the last character of the description of the last line.

Solution:
Always make sure there is a blank line at the end of the file :?

Dumb question but what is the table to modify in the tune once you have the MAPs setup (RPM vs ECT with each Idle PID as the data)

I am assuming these are like LTFT's?

Idle Airflow {B4307}.

Updated calc pids file. There was an issue that was fixed in the latest release and the file changed a lillte. Happy Idle Tooning

[Z16DNA]

Down loaded the update. I now have valid Idle PID's. Thank you Ross and Paul. Now I need to start exploring on how to set myself up for idle tuning. I've copied the newest Calc.pid file. Now setting up maps.

Thank you again.

[jsttry]

OK, here is another dumb question.

The Airflow table is a single colum for P/N or In Gear with several rows for various ECT values. How do you get the MAP information into this table when the MAP has multiple rows AND columns? Are you not meant to set the various RPM rows and just enter "=8000" for the label?

[Dirk Diggler]

Ok here is what you do to setup that map

Data

Calcuated Idle pid you are interested in

Column
?,8000

Row

Go to the editor and highlight the whole Idle airflow table(B4307). Right click and "copy with labels". Go back to the scanner under the row tab and click "paste Labels" and you are done making this map

In the picture above you have to many ect ranges and to many RPM ranges when you are done loging these pids you just want to go back and hit "paste add" for the range logged and have it do its thing
