Suggest you
1. use punctuation.
2. Be specific as to what the problem is.
3. Be specific as to what you have tried to solve it.
4. Be specific on what your question is.

TP works there are some hurdles that may be with the PC hardware, PC software, cable, or in TP.

Ok well I wanna know the best place to start. For a new tuner that knows nothing. I know nothing about bins or the Xdf, or the other things that are needed I can't remember i don't have my computer right now to check.

OK so learn the basic terms and concepts. It's all online or in TP, no sense repeating here. Then connect to the car and see if you can read in real time. That will be big progress.

Ok so what is the best table to start with the SA, or fueling or something else sorry I just want to hear what you guys with experience have to say and I saved the 2 files off of tuner pro but I don't really understand what there for

tchampton

ok so the lo3&lo5 Datastream Definition off of tuner pro for the 82-92 F&B body is that the stock file I need I was looking through it after I took it from ads to adx and it looks like it was changed I think that's the file that has all the data installed but everything I have is off of tuners pro website I have my bin from there and there was two bin files in tuner pro when I downloaded it and I got my adx file from there site in the Datastream Definition table for my car then abd under Bin definition is were I got my xdf file so I just need to know if im doing this right or not

tchampton

ok I just saw a hyperlink on there page that took me to more Datastream Definition and I found A083 is this what I am needing sorry just want to be sure

What I get is: '89 305 with the L03. If correct, that uses the '8746 ECM which is MaskID $61, that is the secret decoder key.

You need the $61 ECU or XDF file to edit the BIN

Need the $61 ADS or ADX to monitor/log the ALDL data stream

Of course need Tuner Pro RT to be able to connector to the ALDL stream and edit the BIN.

As for hardware, need an ALDL to USB cable.

Now you can set up and get the data logging working.

To do 'chips,' need the G2 adapter, some 29sf512 chips (27sf512?), and the Burn 2. The adapter gets soldered into the ECM, then the 'sf512 chips can be used.

See www.moates.net

Ok the other bins I got were here http://www.gearhead-efi.com/Fuel-Inj...Information-61 and do I need the adapter I thought all I needed was a prom burner but I was wondering about the emulators would that make tuning easier or make things more complicated I'm just trying to get a good tune for my lo3 lt1 cam headers tbi spacer and the tbi mods and for the data cable I got an rftdi chip and gonna use that tell I l go back to work in Jan since I dont make any money while I'm at school I can't drop 80$ for a cable

These are all questions that can be answered by reading up on the stuff, research. Whether your on Moates, Tunerpro website. Or when you download and open up Tunerpro RT and click Help -. Help Topics. or hitting the F12. it tells you all the basics from the meaning of the ADX, TDX definition files, to familiarization, to beginner operation.
Than the moates website will show if and what adapter you need to hook up to the ECM board, or the ALDL cable. once you get connectivity with the vehicle, than you can load the ADX,TDX files in question. In 2 seconds that'll tell you if they're the correct defintions. Theirs a lot to know. Even more information available at our finger tips. just going to take a lot of reading and familiarization

TO tchampton.

what school did you go to that they never taught punctuation and capitalization please use punctuation and capitalization you don't realize how hard it is to understand what you are is saying because we can't tell where a thought starts or ends because its just one great big run on sentence that just keeps going on and on and never really gets to a point AND WE DECIDE NOT TO READ THIS JIBBERISH SO YOU DON'T GET ANY USABLE ANSWERS

You'll find a great deal of prep work available in the stickies at the top of the heading. Although some is outdated, and have lost links, it's a good place to begin to learn. I still go back to it a few times a year to get e refresher course on things.
