Hey all, if anyone has experience getting live data from their cars that could help me out would be great!
When I open WINALDL with my cable connected, the only data I have been able to display is in the raw data tab. I get a red 1 at the top, occasionally a two or three. But never this elusive green 20. The data displayed is usually just 255. See picture attached is there something I am doing wrong? Has anyone had a similar issue? Also I am only able to get this data with key off/ engine off. As soon as the key is on the data stops being displayed completely.
1986 corvette. Built 383. 700r4. 1221765 ecu. Currently working through the tuning
I also have an 86 and have just got to grips with data logging.
Out of preference I use TunerPro but Winaldl also works fine.
Your data cable must be in the 10k mode for it to work.
Unfortunately the 1227165 ECM only transfer's data at 160 baud that around 0.6 hz.
The good news is the ECM was used for several years and is compatible with a later bin file, I have burnt a 89 bin file but with a 86 spark map, as I have iron heads, it now transfer's data at 8192 baud or around 11 hz so I get a lot faster data rate and also more data as the later bin file has more items that can be monitored.
ive tried it with/without doesn’t seem to make a difference.
This is what made a difference for me when I was using my cable. The 10k mode put it at a higher idle it seemed though. Which cable are you using? I used this one: https://obd2allinone.com/

I'm not as familiar with your cable, but mine has a resister on the USB connector that has four pins - and changing the configuration of the resistor switches from 10k mode to not. I should have noted though that mine is an 88 so that could be relevant as far as connection success is concerned.
This log shows the effect of the 10k resistor (applied and open) on the Pin B voltage. The ECM must see correct voltage range in order to transmit ALDL data and to change modes.
