TPLGT Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 So after 30 minutes of trying to connect again...I tihnk I was able to log. I would start the car and plug in the obdii and cable then start enginuity...the only way the parameters would show is if I shut the car off to the 'on/acc' position. Once done I could load the profile then start the car. The progrma was constatnly tying to connect byut would not connect consistently...am I going crazy or is the program supposed to stay connected as I drive? Anyway, I was able to get a few 3rd gears pulls using the defogger function...it would just start...go figure... Here are a few logs...they may be a mess so my appolgoes in advance...

How many parameters are you trying to log? I notice that >14 parameters will cause intermittent ECU connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 About 10... I think I am going to stick to the following? RPM Load Throttle position Re. Pressure Feul Correction Fuel learning Timing Knock Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_KT Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 About 10... I think I am going to stick to the following? RPM Load Throttle position Re. Pressure Feul Correction Fuel learning Timing Knock Personally, from what other members have told me there is no need to log the Fuel Learning (A-D) during your runs. Just log it on a separate log/profile. Swap "Fuel learning" for A/F Sensor #1 and maybe get rid of Fuel Correction. Add FLKC and FBKC. This is what I have in my profile (which is a few parameters too many): 1) A/F Sensor #1 2) Accelerator Pedal Angle (%) 3) Engine Load 4) Engine Speed 5) FBKC 6) FLKC 7) Ignition Timing Total 8) Knock Correction 9) Manifold Relative Pressure 10) Mass Air Flow 11) PWGDC Parameters that I log that are superfluous: 1) Vehicle Speed 2) IAM (I'm removing this since mickeyd2005 told me about airboy's Learning Value utility). 3) IAT (I'm removing this parameter as well) -Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 My Tuner specifically asked for Fuel leanring and correction...I guess I will leave it in. It deosn't seem like I am loggin too many parameters...I have no idea what is up...I certainly redo my profile and go from there...I tihnk I am done for the day. Rehab is for quitters.

For fuel learning, are you logging A-D? If so, I do recall that whenever I added A/F Learning A-D with the above parameters, I will receive intermittent ECU connection. If you want to log A/F Learning do it on a separate log. No need to run the car, just switch the ignition to the "on" position and log it in your driveway, parking lot, garage, etc..

TPLGT Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 Intersting...I will try this. So the A/F leanring can mees things up? Alos, I can log A/F learning in idle?

Thanks a lot for all of this info...hopwfully it all helps. A/F Learning (A-D) does make my ECU connection intermittent. I'm not sure how it is for other people, but for me it does. Same at idle (for me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 I am taking notes, BTW. What is Fuel Learngin A-D? Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyd2005 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 You don't need to constantly log AFR Learning A, B, C, and D. Just use merchgod's learning viewer. http://www.romraider.com/forum/topic2772.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 Will do, Broseph. Thanks for the tip. I suppose I will eventually get this logging stuff down. Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 I think I may have an issue w/ the driver for the VAG COM cable. I have intermitent connectivity...most it doesn't connect. I posted over at Romraider and the Admin. said It maybe a buggy driver. Did you guys have any issues w/ the driver? Also, I am wondering if I DL'd the driver properly? when I extract it, I put it into the enginiuty.org folder....Is this correct? Rehab is for quitters.

integroid Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I didnt have any problems with the driver. You can put the files anywhere youw ant as long as you run the install file after you extract the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 What install file are you talking about? I extract the driver and put it in the enguity directory...What do I need to install after I extract it? Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005garnetGT Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I just tried out that learningview thing, what an awesome tool! so anyway, I have -1.4 flkc between 4000-4800rpms and 1.1-1.35 g/rev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely will be gone the next time you check it. And yes the learning tool is very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 OK..So I just came in from trying...note trying to log AGAIN. I can get enginuity to read the ECU while in the 'on' ( the program says qurying ECU) position but once I start it up, it says unable to read ECU, ensure cable is plugged in and ignition is on. If I take the car out and open it up, the data will be read but then stop...this only under WOT. I have logged ONCE but it wasn't quite what I am in need of... Any thoughts? I am seriuosly pissed and really tired of trying everything! Thanks. Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_KT Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Out of curiosity, but what years and build dates did the 5MT fan relay affect? My brother in-law's car had a similar problem and it turned out his ECU + fan relay was the culprit. Romraider/Enginuity + VAG COM cable is nearly plug and play on a Windows based machine. There is probably something else awry. Perhaps it truly is a bad VAG COM cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 ^^Interesting...I e-mailed Autonostics..they bascially blamed it on 'user error'. I am no IT guru but this isn't rocket science...that is why I am confused this should be easy. They said the cables rarely fail. I will check on the fan realy deal...I have an 06. BTW, I just posted another thread in turbo powertrains. Let me know what you think, Jim. TP Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a tuner, so I'll keep my mouth shut with regards to the map question you asked in the other thread. Do you have an APv2? Do you have access to a different laptop?

Jim_KT Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Yeah, I have the V2...another lap top...If I really needed to...why? If you haven't done so already, it might be worth trying Enginuity + VAG COM on a different machine. You can also log with the APv2 Dongle + ecuExplorer. The reason why I prefer Enginuity is for the extended parameters like FLKC and FBKC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 Yeah...I already tried lokking w/ the ECU Explorer and V2 dongle...that didn't work either...that is whay I took this route... Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
