It's *very* rare. We've had, probably, 3 or 4 users report it in 6 years of business.

This particular item maps out and averages CombinedFT over a range of closed loop driving conditions to produce a set of adjustments to the current MAF compensation table. It's basically letting the ECU track how much adjustment it needs under various conditions and then moves that adjustment into the MAF compensation table. text/html 2009-01-01T09:25:24-05:00 twdorris http://www.dsmlink.com/wiki/v3changelog?rev=1230819924&do=diff Downloads page 3.18.33 (1/1/2009) * Added TPS adjustment wizard - TPS Adj * Added support for V1/2 ECUs and the MAF Adj: CombinedFT 3.17.158 (12/30/2008) * Fixed bug with reset LTFT function when used with a DSMLink (V2) ECU * Added V3 MAF Compensation global scalar “wizard” to help auto center the MAF compensation table - MAF Adj: CombinedFT * Tweaked fuel calculator to provide an initial estimate of injector size and to allow for use of calculated global fuel adjustment * … text/html 2009-01-01T09:16:28-05:00 twdorris http://www.dsmlink.com/wiki/v3tpsadj?rev=1230819388&do=diff This extension does a simple calculation of the TPS adjustments necessary for a given datalog. To use this function, just grab a log with throttle position data (TPSVolts or ThrotPos) ranging from fully closed (foot completely off the throttle) to fully open (foot to the floor). The engine does not have to be running to capture this data. Note that with ECMLink installed in your ECU, throttle position data is always captured so you do not have to manually add anything to the captured values l… text/html 2009-01-01T09:13:20-05:00 twdorris http://www.dsmlink.com/wiki/v3datalogext?rev=1230819200&do=diff ECMLink (V3) Datalog Extensions There are a few “extensions” defined to the datalog view for an ECMLink device.
