It may be that there are packet errors. IIRC, someone recently posted the same on a '7165 ECM and to fix it they changed the turn around time or inter-packet delay or such.

Re: TunerPro data flickering

RBob, you're correct, it's a packet error........there is a fix for it. You basically create a macro command that inserts a pause in the ADX file under "Commands". Or, you may need to increase the amount of time in your existing pause. The information is being processed to fast and Tuner Pro cannot display it correctly, thus causing all the parameters to flicker.

Tomorrow, I'll post where I inserted my pause and how long it was. I don't have my laptop on me and can't remember it off hand.

Re: TunerPro data flickering

Thanks it would be nice to get a readable datalog for a change. I just noticed too that in that log when I started the car it was the first start of the day stone cold and 71C seems abnormally high for a startup coolant temperature. My car starts kind of hard it takes like 2-3 seconds so I'm wondering if that could be my issue. Looks like a new CTS is in order.

Fixed it. I did a little google searching and found it on the tunerpro forums. I added a 15ms pause and did a test datalog and it works great!
