Critical issues after update

Post by DSMR »

Updated today and the car drove fine. I was doing some data log testing and stopped at a gas station. I was making a few corrections while letting the car idle and then it cut off. I wasn't changing anything major, just some fuel corrections. I have included the .cal and datalog file. So I was stuck at the gas station trying to figure out why my car would not start and I began to try many different things. My laptop died so I had to build a quick map with crome and a stock map sensor and used it to get home. My luck. I was thinking that the map sensor took a dump so I tried an older .cal that I had made in eCtune for the car and it works like a charm. I have looked at both maps back and forth and I cannot see why there is a difference. If any one knows why please let me know. Thanks

Here is the datalog of the older .cal idling for a few seconds. I did both tests back to back. (I had to make another post b/c 3 is the limit)

On the calibration that wouldn't start, you probably hit ctrl-k while meaning to hit ctrl-j. The former shuts off the injectors. You can see the status by clicking on tools in the menu bar. I below is your file which should work now.
