yeah i changed the config for elm, i read earlier where you had suggested to someone else who was having problems, just not sure if the elm limits the abs load max.

I have just got the new version and installed that, i cannot find anything that limits abs load so im confused why it was capped at 159% thats all

i will try again tomorrow cos its late now without that config file but all i am gonna do is tick and untick the same boxes so dont see how its gonna be that, ill try with the open port 2.0 tomorrow

quite good logs, shame about the knock or it would be perfect

is there not a way to manually configure it?

Anyone try the dyno yet? I keep trying to do 4th gear pulls but it only seems to plot to about 2K RPM no matter how high/how much past this I go. :-P I'm sure its not the most accurate way to calculate HP/Torque, but, *shrug*. I wanted to compare stock map and the flashed map...that's all.

Settings tab > PID Config? That'll let you select which PID to monitor...there's also OBD II Terminal under tools which you'll probably like using ;-) Let's you send commands "directly".

On a completely separate note...has anyone played with making their own dashboards yet? I just started in on a "replica" EVO-X dash the other day...but instead of displaying all the fuel mileage and stuff in the center, I'd put boost and whatever else in the center. Its kind of ugly so far...so give me a week or two to clean it up and then I'll post the customized "dashboard".

If you have the OpenPort cable, you do not need to buy it with the interface.

We are lucky to have OBD-II scanning on our Mustang Dyno.
