Re: Need Help disabling EGR on FLN0 with READ0 strategy

Start separate threads for each question you want to ask. When different people are answering different questions in the same thread, it becomes hard to follow and not very useful for others since the title can't be used to gauge the value of the thread content.

Re: CMPB question.

The byte-length does not dictate whether something is signed or not. The interpreter of the data decides that. In the case of offsets in branching opcodes, the 1-byte offset is always assumed signed so that it can branch forward by up to 127 bytes OR backwards by up to 128 bytes. Being able to decla...

A vacuum or exhaust leak is going to make the sensor not read an accurate an signal and therefore provide an inaccurate signal to the computer. So you might want to focus on that first....

I wonder if it has something to do with your definition file. There may be some setting the developer can do to NOT expose PID names in BE. Or maybe BE now supports def files that don't have the PID column, and thus if it doesn't exist in the def, the search doesn't show a checkbox for it. If that's...

You mention the MAF voltages are getting up into the 4.65v range. But what kg/hr does that correlate to? Knowing that might help others producing your power numbers what to check.

How are you determining 0% duty cycle on IAC? Test light? VOM? Some other way?
