Learning to read Data.

I pulled my chip and read it. I installed the chip back into my truck and know the check engine light is falshing fast. Is this limp mode. What would cause this? While reading the chip could I have damaged it? I checked all the eprom metal legs and they are all straight.

If this programmer caused the problem I need to find new programmer to program the 2732 chips. (I want to stay with the 2732 chips because I will be building another FI truck)

what one should I look at?

Were you able to read the chip, save the file and then verify the file with the chip?

If you saved the file have you tried to open it with cats to see if it was valid?

Did you ever hit the program button while the chip was installed in the programmer?
Or did you ever connect or disconnect the programmer while the chip was in the socket?
 
I was able to read the chip. I did save the file. I didn't verify the chip.
Cats was able to open the file and I was able to look at the data.
Did you ever hit the program button while the chip was installed in the programmer?
I don't think so.
Or did you ever connect or disconnect the programmer while the chip was in the socket? No
I think programmer is crap. Calling moates today. Unless you have another idea! (probably should have started with moates to begin with)
 
When you put the chip back in, you have the notch to the inside?

If so then pull it back out and look at the legs again.

If all is good then the chip is probably dead.
You May want to stick it back in the reader and see if you can pull the same data out.
That will tell you if it's dead.
Then save under a different name and use cats to do a bin compare or the programmer to verify the original file to the chip.
 
Looked at the chip again. :( the chip is dead :( .

The new moates stuff will be here soon. I took my spare ECM and im getting ready for the conversion. I will let you know how it goes. I think I might need a little help in getting started with the new equipment. I will keep you posted.

Ok here we go. I have attached a vin file on the last chip I had. I would like to learn and understand how to change it and make it better.

The first post has all the data since I have changed nothing.

How and where do I start. Thanks

bin wouldn't upload?
 
Actually I already have that bin file.
I set that one up a long time ago.


I will gather the data we need and start a new thread for basic adjustment steps.
 
Swwwweeeetttt. This is so much fun....

I programmed my fist chip last nght. I will go and test it later.

I will watching for the new thread.
 
If you can now burn and log data then start with the new baseline chip I made up for you.
Burn it and then log the blm and the data log for at least a 30 min drive 60 would be better.
Then post those 2 files.

In data log select all the boxes except the raw box.

Here are the requested files.

This iswhen I was driving to elk camp last night. I will run another data set on my way home. If need be.

Very good.
Things look pretty good.
I forgot to adjust the idle speed so it was a little low and you are a little Rich but not bottomed out anymore so we are making progress.

Now to the tweaking!!!
 
Ran prettygood. My timing is set at 8 degrees advance. I live at 5400 ft so I thought the rule of thumb was about 2 degrees advance for every 1,000 ft in elevation. If you think I should set it back to zero I can. There is no pinging. I am still at elk camp. I will give it another run on the way home.



Thanks.

The timing is a good point. 1-2°/1000ft is a good start.
The table can be adjusted or you just turn the distr like you did.
Either way it's just a matter of turning back down some if you drive down at sea level.


Is elk camp like band camp?:smilewinkgrin:
 
I am back!!!
