Data Logging

[cyberr8der]

Hi Folks,

In need of some help with data logging. I'm looking to data log my 2007 GT with the new tunes to insure all the numbers are looking good. What PID's should I log? I tried setting up the following based on some older threads I saw but only 3 of them actually worked.

Short term fuel trim bank 1&2
Long term fuel trim bank 1&2
Lambse bank 1&2
Measured AFR bank 1&2
MAF Frequency
MAF flow rate #/min
Knock sensor
Spark Advance V2
Throttle angle actual
Throttle angle desired
RPM

So for a 2007 GT what should I be logging and looking at?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Are you trying to datalog for your tuner? If so, they should tell you what PIDs to look for.

More for my piece of mind to know all my numbers are in good ranges. I just put a tune on it for the 1st time so just being careful.

 

[ford20]

This is what I use:

Environment
ECT deg F
IAT deg F

Fuel
Measured AFR Bank1
Measured AFR Bank2
Lambse bank1
Lambse bank2
Long Term fuel trim bank1
Long Term fuel trim bank2
Short Term fuel trim bank1
Short Term fuel trim bank2

MAF
MAF Frequency

Misc.
RPM
Torque Source
Vehicle Speed

Spark
Spark
Knock

Throttle
Throttle Position Absolute

I think I must have something configured wrong. Some of these items aren't available for me. Here's a pic of fuel as an example. I don't have any options for lambse under fuel.

Is there something I missed here?

Do you have the latest update of livewire? That may be why mine has different PIDs than you do.

I'm running LiveLink Gen-II version 2.2.14.0 right now. Tuner has the latest firmware etc. If I go to create a config file I see all of these but when I run it only 3 pass. If I verify PID's I don't see them.

What version are you running?

 

[ford20]

I'm running the same one as you are. When you went to configure a new datalog did you click validate all PID's?

When i validate those don't show up at all in the list.

 

[ford20]

Maybe because I have a SCTX4? Maybe for whatever reason they were able to add more PID's?

Thats because you have an '07. Lambase, measured A/f ratio and a bunch of others are only used on the Copperhead ECUs (2011+) not on the older computers.

Log
short term fuel trims B1 & B2
Long term fuel trims B1 & B2
Borderline Spark
Actual Spark
Spark source
knock sensor retard
rpm
02 voltage B1S1
o2 voltage B2S1
MAf counts (or MAf volts)
Load
coolant temp
intake air temp
TP relative
Idle air integrator


If you get no activity at all on the knock sensor readings then the tuner may have set the knock sensors to work on in each cylinder separately. In that case you will have to log Knock Sensor Cyl 1, Knock Sensor Cyl 2, Knock Sensor Cyl 3, etc. to see if there is any knock.

Ahh, that explains it. I'll give it a shot tomorrow when I get back. Thanks for your help

Great info! I literally just down loaded the software to do this as my new tune seems off so Bama told me to data log

 

[ford20]

Yikes Bama! Hopefully they get their tuner situation squared away shortly.

 

[Mike96GT]

Yeah exactly. Im debating on having another tuner tune car even though i paid for bama tunes

 

[cyberr8der]

How did the logging work out for you Mike? Bama get you all squared away?

 

[Mike96GT]

Not really. The car is running better but does not feel 100%. Unfortunately ive heard nothing positive about Bama tuning lately so im ordering a tune from lethal performance. I really did not want to spend the money on yhis but the reality is the tune dictates how car runs so it should be where i spend money lol. Im really hoping with the Lund tune car gets back to where it was or better!
