I just put the cable together last night and I got around to running my car through WinALDL. The engine was pretty cold when it started, but I left it on for quite a while and it got up to about 220 (which is where it generally stays when it idles). I revved it for a bit after a while, but not long enough to get all possible readings there (I didn't realize it took a while for some stuff) It's all idle stuff 'cause I don't have a laptop

If there's anything wrong, if you could give a short explanation why or give a link that explains it or something, it would be much appreciated. I'm new to this.

I don't know why, but the log.txt file you've posted is junk. The raw data isn't translating into sensible "sensor" data (IAC, MAP, RPM and so on).

There's hardly any variation in the raw data anyway. It looks to me like you're not recording the data and the program can't calculate sensor values from what it's getting.

I'd suggest you make sure the basics are right- that you're getting data from the ALDL line, that your communications port setting are right, and that you've got the right ECM selected in Winald.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

I don't know what IAC and MAP should be at, but I know the RPM is very accurate :P The problem with that file is that it's not tabbed...If you want RPM, you have to count how many columns over it is and then do the same for the data. Either that or you need to make it use tabs.

Edit: I now have up an Excel file with the data delimited and also graphs. A whole TON of graphs.
