thanks guys/tephra. Im gonna check out scantech. Im trying to contribute to this thread here, but it seems like Im starting off on the wrong foot... Im gonna go over all my tables again later...
Well jumped in the car after work, and cell... again, on my rom... weird??? The only thing I know I changed were the MUT's for the new logging parameters. 40, 41, 42, 43, 44 (which I cant get these new parameters to log) i added to the .xml and added new data items...
And the bit I was referring to earlier was (fea) bit. 14
I copy/pasted my old MUT table, and changed (fea) bit. 14 back to "0", and flashed the car, and the cell went away... IDK
wait: just thought of something... I only copy/pasted (00,01,02,03,04,05) into the (tephra) MUT table

Scantech never worked for me, but DTC in evoscan have been working like a charm with no setup....
I used a turbo timer harness for all my power supply items...gauges, map switch, etc. It's cheap and plugs directly into the ignition keyswitch behind the steering column, so your power should be steady. Just cut off the plug end meant for the TT and you have a neat prewiring for a constant batt+ and a switched batt+, for any accessories you want.

I'm not normally shy about splicing wires, but I haven't had to on the ECU yet so I'd rather not. I may just order one of those harnesses. It seems like there has to be, but can you verify 100% that there is one output on it that is ignition only and doen't cut while cranking?
Thanks for the tip!

Try running with the original MUT values in tephra's ROM and change that periphery bit. It might not be a bad idea to grab that CEL first.

Something like these I'm guessing:

anyways... I can verify that "gear dependant boost" control is working properly!
I can also verify that the "knock cell" is working as well. getting the cell back. lol
Awesome stuff!
I cant wait to actually spend some time w/ this. thank you Tephra for all of your hard work! also thanks to the vets. for helping out the newbs like myself!

As for any power cut while cranking...I've never noticed my gauges lag even for a moment. I have my Alt map switch power (with led while on), gauges and zt2 all tapped for power there.
I've never noticed a flicker or even the led blink out, from the intial turn of the switch to start cranking to it's release to the run position. If there is a brief cut it would have to be returned nearly instantly (i would think) for the led to not even show notice.
The only time I notice a cut in that switch is when the ignition switch is going from the accessory position to starting (cause i notice the radio go out). The harness could also give you a power lead to accessory power. Just don't us the accessroy "on" wire as your power and you shouldn't have an issue.
I don't know of any better test expect maybe this weekend, hook up my meter and run the continuity buzzer the whole time and see if it cuts out at all.
Need me to try that?

QUOTE=mrfred;6799803]How are things looking for the 88590615 patch? Bug-free so far? I'm ready to write the flex-fuel patch for the v6 ROM.[/QUOTE]
seems to be working perfectly w/ me as well. My only issue is noticing my "knock cell" flashing a lil more than I thought, cruising...
I have some work to do...
Tephra... donation on the way!
