Hi there guys... got my ALDL cable form aldlcables.com the other day... i hooked it up and i changed the baud to 4800 and the com to the correct one.. now when im running the engine i am only getting Raw data.. im using winaldl... i go for dash and it wont show anything... can someone help me out?

 

What other settings are available other than 4800? Is there a 160?

 

on the 1228746 don't you have to use a 10k resister to start flow ?

 

I didnt put the 10k resistor... Wanted to try without if first.. Ill try with it
I tried both settings 4800 worked only

 

Ok got it working and i have my datalog... How do i make use of it and how can i uploed it so that you guys can take a look... Thanks

 

heres a log

 

The 1227165 is the only one that "requires" the 10K resistor to start data flowing. Other ECMs can make use of the 10K resistor for other pre-programmed settings, more to verify connection, such as "ALDL idle RPM" that will usually raise the idle when there is a 10K ohm resistor present.

 

I used winALDL for a few years. It provided me with BLM feedback so i could make necessary changes to VE table. That helped me assure PE was in line as PE uses VE and last BLM.

What are you wishing to accomplish?

 

I just want to get some
Data and time the car perfectly

 

use a timing light

 

OUCH !

I think he is refering to set timing for optimal perf. Unfortunately that will be neded to be done on a dyno for all rpm/vac cells. If you are looking for max WOT perf for a 1/4 mile that is doable. Dataloging is helpfull to skow KC's. MPH at end of 1/4 will tell the tale.

 

Well i also want to do prom and all that.. Would like to increase fuel efficiency

 

Go to TBI and read up on "free tune" in stickies. So same here on DIY-P see stickies.

Go to dynamicefi.com and at bottom is intro to tuning part 1 + 2. Good info there.

Plan on spending a few hours reading.

 

How did you got the software to work??
I just got a cable the other day, and I cant get the software to stream the data.
The laptop recognized the cable and it set it to COM3 so I changed it in the software but I'm not getting anything.....Can someone tell me if I'm missing something..?
Thanks

 

Take the 10k resister off

 

Thanks, I actually figured it out. There is a jumper on top of the usb outlet of the cable, and I had to set it correctly in order to get true data to flow.
By the way, do you know how do I read the data. I can understand some of it, but the values of the airflow I don't know how to read it, and the EGR cycle values as well.
Thanks
