Default Scanmaster readings, normal?

Ignore my company in the video....
where are you at Ed?

Edit; I guess I was just expecting any knock retard to happen under load and not idling.

Default Has the computer had a tune?

Values are opposite of expected. It goes lean at 3500rpm with zero retard. Then back to rich at idle with retard - where it normally uses advance without load.

Take a look at the rpm and see if it matches your tach - scanmaster may be connected wrong.

Interesting to follow this thread and to see how the scanmaster works - like i can't tell which O2 it reads, right or left? But its really nice to have that info right on the dash real time - if/when it works. Could be cool tool.

Thx for posting,

Mine does not do that, its zero at idling 99.9% of the time. Anytime I did notice KR at idle, it was always exhaust related like a pipe hitting the chassis. Might put a wide band O2 on it to determine accurate A/F.

I seriously doubt this is a connection issue.

The exhaust is something ill be messing with soon anyway probably but I didn't notice any contact with the headers and the body. Right now it's just LTs x pipe dumped at the rear.

It would be tough to make one detonate at idle. It is most certainly false knock. If a cammed car does that the tuner has his head up his butt. Don't care how loud it is.

Default Turning the engine off erases all stored data.

Mode button is on the left. Press the Mode button to identify the mode and the right display shows the data.

I won't post the instruction manual in case of copyright law. But i can PM u with the instructions in plain text if u want.
