    couple small questions

    Hi im new to the tuning scene. I have a basic understanding of how hptuners works but i need a starting point. Here is my first scan. I dont know why it will not allow my throttle to go past 83%? the TPS% is the throttle postion sensor correct? Anyways any little pointers on something to work on would be great. I dont know why it will not show my AFR or KR on the graph? its prolly something simple. Im looking into it right now. I made the pull about 3/4 way through the log. Thank you for any help

    You are not logging all the needed parameters in your table. Go to your table. The right click on an empty cell and select insert and it will give you a list of PIDs to log. If you want I can email you a ready made config file that logs everything you need to know, you just need the beta software to open my config file. First thing you need to do though is multiply your whole MAF calibration table by 0.95 because your LTFT is -6.2. That will get you closer to where you need to be there. 83% TPS is a scanner bug. It is open all the way at 83%.

    I had the same issue with my car with the regular software even though it is an 08. It originally thought it was an 09 so it said invalid vin and OS pair. Just out of curiousity why are you wanting to tune your car now? I thought you already had a tune.

    I have the 2.22 but it is showing up as a 09 now that i think about it. I do have a tune but it is a pain in the ass to try to meet up with my tuner every time i want to try something different. I will be doing the gt30 swap on my car soon so i want to be able to take the car to my friends dyno right after, he will give me a discount if all he has to do is strap the car down and go. I will also be tuning my 89 chevy truck that i am working on doing a LY5 swap in or "5.3" from a 08 chevy. It will be my real toy.

    Hey Terminator2, would you mind sharing the config you use with me please? I have one that I use but it is lacking and I don't have the time to make up my own. Just let me know and I will PM you my email address. Thanks!

    Sorry for the slight thread hijack.

    The one thing that I couldn't do in my config was the LTFT+STFT setup. Even going through the step by step that was posted. I didn't have some of the parameters like was posted. The LTFT is worked out but STFT is a PITA! Maybe in a few months it will be better with the new mods that I will be getting?
