    Nevinsb,
    Thats what I was thinking about the VIN# mismatch...

    Joecar,
    Yeah I'm usually down to 24 pids or less, I don't know why I logged 25 pids on that log....I'll look at the C:\Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\Configuration\cal_link.txt to make sure "Link:" is front of the Pid names...

    Also, when I do a read flash of the controller, it shows the Vin# in the Tune file(where it's suppose to be) but when I save it and open it back up, the Vin# is shown as NA...

    Try writing the VIN using the scantool.

    Joecar,
    I'll check on the "Link:" part in a little bit and see what's up...

    There is no reference to "vortec" controllers in the cal_link file. If you open another tun file ie. LS1 car, it will link to the log file, even with the incorrect VIN. I have tried several variations of Vortec to attempt to get it to link, so far no good.

    At least it isn't the 97 Vortec controller.

    Since there is no reference to the Vortec in the cal_link.txt file, maybe Paul or Ross has to add something in the Tune tool progam to make it work. Or just what is the exact name to add in the cal_link.txt file to get it to link.

    The section names in the cal_link file need to be the same as the folder names in the Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\Calibrations folder.

    So for vortec, you'd put the link definitions under a section name of [VRB]

    Regards
    Paul
