I downloaded tunerpro RT, but I do not understand how to use it as far as bin files and all that goes. I have a ALDL to USB cable and so on. Where do I find the files needed for my 91 L98 F body? I looked on tunerpros site and they are listed there, but when I click them it is just a bunch of text.
I'm not looking to burn a chip or anything, I just want to be able to see what the car is doing and so on. Any help would be great, Thanks.
Totally in the dark here

I am using AOL 10.1. I will try that and see what happens but I want to get the numbers off the ECU tomorrow to make sure i get what I need.robertisaar wrote:depending on what browser you're using, you may need to right-click and select "save target as" to get the file to save, rather than the browser attempting to open it.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Ok, I took the laptop out today, played with the files for about 1-2 minutes and imported the XDF from the ECU and VOILA! it works perfectly! So far I've only played with it for about 15 minutes, but I had graphs going and the dashboard and so on. How do you switch from Celcius to Fehrenheit on the temp readings?
What does it mean at the bottom of the screen where it says "not ready" and "hardware not detected" and "not ready to emulate"?

Can you explain to me how to do that? I'm not into code yet and am a complete friggin noob.robertisaar wrote:all of the stuff at the bottom is for either emulation or burning hardware, so you can ignore it.
as for temps in *C to *F, if you're using the ADS or ADX i made, i include both, but if not, then change the conversion from X*.75-40 to Z*1.35-40 and you're set.

ok, that should be easy then.
press F4 and you'll bring up the ALDL screen.
click "Edit ALDL Datastream".
go to ALDL sensor data and expand it. you should now be able to find all of the temp related stuff.
click on any one of them and change the "factor" from .75 to 1.35.
now you're pretty much done, just do it to the rest of the values as well. you should probably also change the units from *C to *F.
for 8D, the IAT/MAT value uses a lookup table, so instead of changing the "factor" you'll open the lookup tables selection to the left and then select any part of the table. now press Ctrl + A, then underneath all of the values, press the convert table button.
now you're done(unless you want to change the label in MAT/IAT to *F, but you should know how to do this by now.

OK, I got it all done (I think). I'll hook it up to the car again later and see how it works.robertisaar wrote:ok, that should be easy then.

Thanks again.
Hi guys, long time no see. i haven't done this in quite awhile, but I now have version 5 and need to know how to set it to fehenheit instead of celcius. Also, it seems to be kind of skitchy when reading data. It continuously loses connection or something for just a second and the readings keep jumpig around.
