Are these values within spec?
I scanned my 1985 L98 Stock Coupe... and I got a few values I have questions about.
TPS Voltage read .51 V (idle), spec is supposed to be .54V.
Is that okay?
Knock counts at idle read constant 0's. Should there be anything registering at Idle (through the RPM range while in Park)?
Finally, is anyone really familiar with the WINaldl program? I'm still trying to decipher what everything means.

TPS is .54v +/- .075, so I think you're ok.
Knock counts as in the engine knocking? You want it to be 0, right? Why would you want to see it registering knocks?

Some people may think that theres a little bit of tuning left in it. Advance the timing so you get a little more power, and the knock sensor will put you down to where it's safe. I say leave it, blowing motors sucks, believe me. : /

I scanned my car trying to find a reason for a slight idle problem and the TPS stood out, because it was not where it should be. I thought that the knock sensor might show something at idle, and was worried that constant 0's meant it might not be registering at all, but I realize that thinking was off.
Since those are fine, I guess I move on down the diagnostic list.
Thanks
