seting up an output with rpm between 2 rpms

Post by dealwithit »

hey all, im looking at a way to control the vanos on a 97 bmw 328i. it just uses a 12+ signal, but needs to come on at 1500rpm, and off at 5000rpm (possibly different numbers but thats not important for this). so i know ill need to setup a relay control, thats not a problem, im trying to figure it out in the programmable outputs but drawing a blank. I can get it to come on at a certain rpm, but if i set a condition to turn it off then all i get is a flash when it crosses the 2 rpm points and wont stay on between them. anyone have any tips on this setup in tunerstudio? thanks

Set it to be ON when
RPM > (low limit)
AND
RPM < (high limit)

Ok I think that's how I had it set but I might have them in the opposite order, which must screw it up. I'll try that tonight on the sim. Thanks!
