I have been reading a lot in here, went through the whole new to burning thread.

I am using Tuner Pro and I have a Batronix BX32P Programmer. I'm not programming yet, I'm just trying to understand what I'm looking at.

Here are my questions...

1. Tuner Pro asks for a Bin and a XDF file. I'm using Bin's from a 1227747 ecm and the only XDF file that recognizes them is 6E.xdf. Is that OK to use?

2. My programmer uses "Prog Express". It can't auto identify the chip source. I enter AM2732A and it offers me a choice of 10 different versions. (-20DC,-25DC,15DC,15DI ect) How do I know which chip I have. The letters and #'s on the chip don't match anything there. I have been just randomly picking one.

3. When I read the chip(s) in Tuner Pro some things don't make sence. For instance. I have a 1987 4.3L engine and it says that it has 8 cylinders. Another chip I have has a code that dosen't match any of the cylinder options. What is up with that?

4. I am running a closed loop system with an O2 sensor, map, coolant, ect. It says that the "Analog MAF Meter" is in use. Is that saying that I'm set up for a Mass air system?

5. I'm showing "VATS" is enabled. Is that Vehcile Anti Theft? I don't have that?

6. It shows that the rev limiter stops fuel at 31.88 rpm and starts fuel at 26.76 rpm. I can rev past 4k with out a problem. What is going on here? There are a lot of things that arent right in the general peramaters. I think I have the wrong Bin Definitions but if I load it with the 7747 bin it comes up blank.

I keep getting an error when I try to open it with WinBin.

Please, any help is appriciated. I'm just trying to get an understanding of what's on the stock chips right now.

Thanks

1. that's the wrong XDF, the one you need is $42 and you can download it from here http://tunerpro.net/downloadBinDefs.htm
2. your chip (I believe) is similar to Intel 2732 (25V)
3. again, you are using the wrong xdf
4. same as above.
5. VATS is anti-theft. It uses the chip (resistor) on the key to verify
6. you are using wrong XDF

hope this help

 

Thanks for the reply...

I can't get it to open in that definition for some reason. When I download it I'm right clicking and hitting "save as". Then it dosen't come up as an option when I try to change or select XDF. I start to type it in manualy and it comes up. I select it and Tuner Pro opens up with empty lists and says "no XDF selected"....

The file shows up when I explore my program files but dosen't show itself when I'm in the program. I have to start to type it in before it comes up as an option.


What am I doing wrong?

 

On tunerpro go to XDF tab >Import>From ECU

 

Thank you SOOOOOOOO much... you don't know how much I appriciate that.

 

send me a check for $50 J/k
I am glad you got it to work

 

I think the VATS can be unchecked/disabled.
