Default Experienced with TunerPro RT

I am looking for someone who is experienced with TunerPro RT to interpret some values for me. I did some logging, but dont know if I understand it all completely. My blm's are between 110 to 118. Are these #'s normal? Also, my O2 sensor readout is all over the place, and it's brand new Bosch OEM.

your blms are showing your car is rich. the ideal bllm is 128. it shows you are any where from about 10 to 19% lean. there are a couple of ways to fix this. what cells is the car doing this in. also the good news is the car should to 128 as a base at 100 throttle and then use the pe table. for the wot fuel trim.

I am not very familiar with this yet. I am learning as I go. The guy that programmed the chip says that I now have 89 vette programming for the cold start delete , but the car takes a very noticable longer cranking time to start the engine now. I sent the cold start injector to Jon at FIC, and he says the thing was stuck closed and the coil and spring was bad...so it wasnt getting any xtra fuel at cold start, but it started up like it did. As I understood it, 89 vettes were programmed to enrichen the injectors more at start up to make up for this.
I have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator...is it as simple as getting the right pressure?

I'm new at this to, but I don't think I would try to fix your problem by changing the fuel pressure because this will change the tuning in other places as well.

The O2 readings are probably the cross counts, which is normal. Mine does the same thing.

http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/di...uide-book.html

The above wed site, among others has a wealth of information available.

I have tuner pro, but any good program will show the same readings.

Hope this helps.

i can not solve the cold start problem. the car is pulling fuel is what you blms are showing to get to 128, 128=perfect any higher is lean and lower is rich. but it is still in spec as you do not have a check engine light. easy way to fix this is tell the car the injectors are 10% bigger than they are that should drop you to about 1 to 9 percent in certian areas. if you look at your stblm it should be right around 128 as the computer is adjusting the fuel trim. Also i hate the idea of tuning a car with it not being in front of me

I would pull codes from yte ALDL-ECU. It may not set a SES light but it may hold a code that is not frequent or hard enough to set light.

Coolant sensor tells car if it is cold adding fuel. Possibility it is that?

Do you have MAF sensor? what happens when it starts failing? What symptoms? I am SD(MAP).

i am not sure that you are having any problems. 110 is getting close to problem zone but not there. you would tell the car the injectors are 10 percent smaller than they are. and go from there. Also is 89 mas air car if so you may want to clean your mass air meter before you do any thing

The car is an 86 with 89 programming to solve the elimination of the cold start injector, but now the car takes a long while for it to start compared to before I got the chip reprogrammed. I have two MAF sensors and have switched them out a couple of times as well as cleaned them. I was thinking about getting an emulator to get things where they need to be so I dont need to be going back and forth with someone to program this for me, but I am still trying to learn the hack so I can...
I still need to know where to look to see exactly what was changed from my 86 with iron heads in the programming verses the 89 programming that it was supposedly changed to. Where would I find the bins and defininition files for the comparison? That is so strange though...Jon at FIC siad my cold start injector was stuck closed, had a bad coil and a bad spring, so it wasnt even working to begin with, but it ALWAYS started right up. I dont understand it.

The '89 bin typically takes more cranks to start.

I'm not familiar with the "cold injector" of earlier cars, although I recall some time ago reading about work-arounds, so that's probably where you're at in your situation.

If I recall correctly, there's a table in the 6E mask that addresses cold start crank "pulses". Trial and error in that table may lead you in the right direction.

Personally, if the car feels right and doesn't ping, I'd just live with the longer cranking.

I also have been chasing the cold start delete issue with my car. Long crank times when you are leaving somewhere can be embarrasing!

This might help on the extended crank problem:
