I'm not sure vabout cross-posting rules, but since I spend most of my time here, I wanted to post it here as well.

Re: Help interpreting data logs (AGENT 86)
No, I never got around to that. I'll put the computer back in my car and take a pic.
That should give some people a laugh or two. I got a Coleman 400 W power inverter and it's not strong enough to power my monitor and pc. So, I actually had an extension cord going into my car. You shoulda seen it, it was funny.
I'll email you the logs and maybe you can review them and tell me if you see any issues. Keep in mind, there was no load on the engine at all, with it being in neutral. I was also a bit leary of going WOT in neutral with the car just sitting in the driveway.
The one run when I revved it quickly to 600o RPM, the TPS was only like 2.72 V I think, not even full throttle, but had like 7.0 degrees of knock retard. That was the only time I ever got any knock retard. I had no knock counts/retard at idle, or holding 2500 RPM.

If you e-mail (jgkov@msn.com) the data logs to me in say MS Word or MS Excel format I'll take a look and give you my analysis.
As others have said, for tuning you need to capture logs through the shift points at WOT. You should try to pick up a nice used lap top on e-bay. ;)

Re: Help interpreting data logs (Steel Blue 91)
Oh ya guys, it was quite the site, having a desktop pc in my car and an extension cord running to it, heh.
I understand that the car pretty much has to be under load to see anything, but with winter and all, and the clutch slipping, it's away 'til Spring.
For those interested, Agent 86 hosted my scans on his site, the URL is...

It was taken with DataMaster. Haven't tried it with Moates yet.
