Re: THE ULTIMATE FORD BE/MOATES EFI TUNING GUIDE?

My guess is the most official information is going to be both in the helpfiles of BE (and EA). However those are written very generically and don't include a lot of the learned practices and behaviors that might be shared on forums, tech docs, and FAQs on sites like this. So if you are looking to tr...

Re: Moates QH and J3 Chips Are Still Available

That software should be available on the original developer's site.

Moates did not develop that software. They were just linking to it since it worked so well with their hardware.

Re: Free A9L that came with BE vs. Core Tuning A9L (and using a token)

I'm using the free A9L that came with BE (.BIN) but I'm wondering if there's a reason to use the A9L out of the Core Tuning database (.BEB)? This may be outdated information, but it's my understanding that the only reason Adam @ Core Tuning remade the GUFx defs into licensable BEB files is because ...

If you don't get any information, then you always have the ability to guess at the numbers, run the engine with guessed-at numbers, and use EEC Analyzer to help you hone the values in.

Re: Logging Intake Manifold Vacuum

On MAF-based EECs, like the GUFx EECs, the BARO sensor appears to be the same exact sensor used as a MAP sensor on Ford SD-vehicles. Or maybe they are just shaped the same and have the same connector? I don't know. Point being if you setup the tune to ALWAYS use Sealevel tables, then you can connect...

Re: Question about A9P with 5 speed

On manual cars, the EEC usually monitors both NSS on the clutch pedal and transmission neutral switch. One or the other have to indicate neutral. If you only wire to the NSS, then it is possible the trans could be in neutral, but your foot not pushing the clutch in and the result would be the EEC be...

The hole in the throttlebody is an interesting topic and a hard one to visualize. But I'll see if I can do it justice.

Re: Holley 36lb injectors and Pro Flow 36lb Maf ???

I don't know what MAF you are starting with, but many of the stock MAFs made since the late 90s are sampling closer to the center of flow like slot style MAFs do. So you may not need to replace your MAF. For example, the infamous LMAF. Even the 97 Ranger and Explorer MAFs have their housing designed...

You may get away with just grabbing the injector parameters from some other brand 36lb injectors. They'll be close enough that you can tweak the values to what's actual.
