I'm still confused... nowadays "reg fuel" is E10 in most parts of USA. Are you running E10? I have never read it, but the obvious book choice to me would be the one written by Matt Cramer and Jerry Hoffman of DIYautotune. Look for it there or on Amazon.

New issues
Since the firmware upgrade I have noticed this.
MAF sensor wont stay synced in TS . If i change the gauge manually it works until the controler goes off line . Im using a a 6 wire MAF from a V6 mustang
is a V6 MAF the same as a v8 MAF if not why is their no option in the maf configuration of TS.
Why has my WUE has decided it wants to stay on no mater what the temperature is. any idea why ?
thanks

I'll take the easy one...

WUE is staying on because the last bin in the table (156.7F) is set to 145%. The last bin (highest temperature) needs to be 100% (no WUE) and at a temperature that is less than normal operating temperature (156.7F should be okay).

Yup that was it, sorry for the newbie question.

Does anyone have idea what is going with th MAF. and why its going outa sync

If . Set mat on that guage and exiitb TS . Then restart TS gaug. Stay in sync and appears to be close
Thanks

I don't think so, but currently we only have calibration curves available for the most common MAFs.

What exactly does the MAF reading do when it is "out of sync"? Does it read wrong on a data log too?

Hell. Everyone

Thanks for the inquiry Matt. Ok heres where im at. I have figured out heir is a problem with the MAF/circuit. The default guage in TS bottom right corner (MAF?) . gauge reports lost sync (Sometimes). If you manualy setup a guage to read MAT it stays in sync. however the temp is sometimes way off like showing 25 degs when its 65-70. The car runs pretty good its running really rich, until the MAF just up and decides to work properly. Then it gets really lean. Now I have checked the circuit cant seem to find a problem. Im prettysure the sensor is flakey. Example took a little drive 30 miles or so, ambient temp some where between 60 - 75 degs, ran great (rich 10.5 - 13.5) AFR. made a few short trips (store) and out of the blue the car starts running way lean. I first thought it was the idle valve turned it off no change. look ed at the logs and noticed that the MAT temp was reading normal. Checked circuit (wiring) again no problems. After several starts/stops MAT temps went back to 20 degs cooler car acted as before (duh). Going to install a single GM MAT sensor and see if that helps. I'm including a pic of the MAF with part #as well as logs.

I picked up a a GM MAF off a 05 Taho. I will have to do some fabricating to install it.

Any thoughts / suggestions

Thanks again

That log shows an IAT of around 38 degrees. Is that accurate?

No should be more like 70s. This morning it showed 42ish more like 55 or so. I know this sounds stupid but installed a new muffler and recalibrated my o2 sensor (folowing the inovative motorsports procedure) while i had it on the rack and now the external guage and TS and MSDROID dont agree with tg guage. It is at least 1.0 -1.5 difference. I don't think this is related. Since the maf has been acting like this pretty much all along . Sorry I forgot to mention this in the other post.

Not sure which number on this maf is correct part #

PBT-GF30
XF2F-12B579-AA
0L08-C3-2
2797403

Thanks

I think I found the problem with the maf , bad solder joint in the DB 37. Going to check O2 in logworks and see what that looks like.
