My turn to whine

Target AFR tables can be edited, but the changes aren't saved. I believe this has been addressed elsewhere. I suspect ECT vs fuel warmup correction does not work in .39 and .40, I found it impossible to change AFRs on warmup via this table. COM errors crash eCtune. I am 100% NOT SURE but I suspect some IAT or CTS correction bugs. Ambient, engine, and intake temps varied around a LOT last night and I wasn't able to test as much as I wanted to, mostly due to being unable to play back datalogs. For the most part it's pleasing.

Target AFR was never saved... but in the latest version or next release it is ECT works... I tested my self... But i will do again... COM error crashes? Explain? I know i have to test. If you datalog or emulate and remove the cables What bugs IAT CTS? Why can't you play log files?

Sorry to not have replied promptly, I've been running around over family and school related stuff. As far as the COM errors, sometimes the Ostrich and HULOG cables got plugged into different places on the USB hub, or I used a different USB hub which caused them to appear on different COM ports. eCtune appears to not want to recognize ECU/HULOG when ports are changed around, and sometimes crash - just closes itself with no warning or popupm error messages. After restarting eCtune or rebooting the laptop the settings take and everything connects seamlessly. I could not replay logs as of last Thursday, and attempting to access the Graphs tab popped up an error box. I just loaded a log and replayed it a few minutes ago, as well as successfully used the Graph function. I'm thinking the problem is with my hardware, as eCtune takes a second to load up and occupies a decent chunk of RAM. This laptop is a bit old, Thinkpad T20 with 700 Mhz P3 and 128MB RAM, but the registry is pretty clean as I don't fool around on it. Last I knew blundar had the same laptops I do...do you think I should buy more memory, or another laptop? I have plenty of cash to do either, I just like the older Thinkpads as they are indestructible and would like to retain them as long as possible. FYI, I have two T20s, got both new in the box. As for my other woes, I have a session with the BRMS car again Wednesday and I'll give everything a thorough going over, and take notes.

Put the comm port to auto scan. That should fix the issue with changing comports. Make sure your car is KOEO Buy a new thinkpad they are pretty good.. .Net framework uses a lot of resources

I was getting errors and no connections with autoscan, eCtune crashing was a product of manual configurations. In the future I'll just try to restart the application and then try a reboot.

i'll run some test today

I confirmed ECT and CTS fuel corrections work, but the car is just plain wierd. Idles at 12.2 one second, stoich the next, until coolant temps hit 160-165 degrees F at which point it runs right. Anyway, I added a stick of RAM to the laptop today, boots faster and feels a little snappier. XP claims 26 processes at boot, I think I'm going to reformat with a petiter version of XP that has sped things up a lot on other downscale hardware. Anyway, I've replicated some of the datalogging/COM bugs that I have been experiencing. I'll attach them in order they occurred.

Send me the log files to calvin @ ectune.com When datalogging graphs don't show anything but shouldn't result in an error. I think there is something wrong with the log files that's why the errors when trying to open it. I had some problems with graph due to DPI settings of the video card. I have changed some things in the GRAPH form. I'll mail you an update and please repeat those tests...

Joey Misanthropy · Post by **Joey Misanthropy** » Thu May 24, 2007 10:30 am

Sweetness, I will do so tonight. The car goes back to the track with my laptop in the floorboard to log with. I'd send the logs now but I left my charger at BRMS and the laptop battery is dead-ish. Tonight for those as well.

Post by **calvin** » Thu May 24, 2007 12:33 pm

i'll hear from you then
