Re: looking for software

I think I remember something about the maf cable needing a 10k resistor somewhere to put the ecm in a mode to get data from it. does your cable have a switch on it somewhere? and tunerpro works as a data logger. just need a .ads file to match what running.

My Datamaster works fine with my USB. Are you sure you're setting it up correctly? IMO, Datamaster is the best datalogging software for our cars.

For a 1990 you need this one: http://www.ttspowersystems.com/softw...D/setup-8D.exe


Are you selecting the correct com port when trying to datalog?
