So I went and plugged it all back into the car just to double check things. (Since it never hurts). I don't even have a tab called Enrichment. I have a fuel tab. But here are some crappy screen pics. None of pids I listed are there under any tab.

Frozen, I don't think your calc_pids.txt file is even going into your computer. Are you entering it?
Are you doing this: 1. Copy the calc_pids.txt file to this location, or copy/paste its contents to the file at this location on your PC:
My Documents\EFILive\V7.5\User Configuration\calc_pids.txt
(the syntax/sematics of calc pids are covered in the EFILiveV75Scan.pdf on pages 92-96)
I did like Joecar explained to do. The my docs, efi live, user config, calc_pids. Copied and pasted them into there. I went back and looked there all still saved in there. Even the altered clc 00 110.
I looked up pages 92-96 thats just a foreign language to me. I grew up on old school carbed bigblocks, shit we didn't even have computers in school up here back then. lol So Thanks for the patients.
Well Frozen it is somewhat bizarre. Normally there would only be two reasons none of the Calculated Pids are showing up. One, they are not being saved..or you are inadvertently saving two calc_pids.txt files.
Second, sometimes you have to hook up the Scan Tool, and validate the Pids..just check them even if unsupported and log them. But, you said you did that.
Thirdly, if one calculated Pid is dependent upon another then clicking one will 'enable' the other.
What is bizarre in your case is that they are simply not showing up. Can you triple verify you are hitting 'save as' to put them in the right place on the computer. No error codes or nothing? My hunch is that they are not being saved.
Yea, Frozen unfortunately I have learned that computer skills are a necessity to learning Tuning. Quite frankly I am self-taught and I also find it challenging at times.
If all else fails we may have to shout it out to Joecar, Mr. Prick, or another one of our Pid experts. It has me somewhat stumped what is going on...
Ok dumb question. Was it correct to add them to that calc_pid file or do I need a new file called calc_pid.txt? or is it the same? There was already a few things there and I just added the new stuff and saved it.
And is that where the DYNAIRTEMP will go also?

You need to save a file called calc_pids.txt. It has all the necessary Pids (hopefully).Originally Posted by Frozen WS6
So do I even need that one called calc_pid? or will that duplicate things even more since I just added them to the stuff already there? Should I try to delete anything back out of there?
I am not sure what all you added to the User Configuration Folder..so try this.
Call up the calc_pids.txt file on page 1 of this thread (opens with Notepad). Save the whole file to User Configuration...
..You should only have one calc_pids.txt in there (its called a file, but you don't need to write out file..It should look exactly like the attachment I just posted..)
That worked.
So before I mess anything else up. Will I save that DYNAIRTMP_DMA pid in it's own file or add it to the calc pid txt file?
Cool.
For now I would leave that Calculated Pid DYNAIRTMP alone. If you do a log or if now your OS still comes up with a big red X for DYNAIRTEMP.DMA..then we will have to add it and also substitute the Calculated Pid into the CALC.VET formula.
All of this can get pretty tricky. One parenthesis or bracket missing can be a nightmare figuring it out.
Refresh my memory. Analog wideband or Serial?
Once we know how many more steps we need to take, I am hoping to do it with one unified calc_pids.txt (now that you know how to do it). How many Pids now show up on your Scan Tool?
