I break it down this way:

Power
Ground
Signals(Gauges)

Once you get that established it's money.

It's weird at first seeing that small truck and hearing that big engine noise. Then I thought "Why didn't they all come that way?"

That's just a 2.8l model....that's what the Glovebox says anyways..



If any of you guys that mess with these things enough can tell me where to get the upper door seal that would be great..Rock Auto has them listed but no pics so I cant see exactly what I'm looking at.

Na..been working on the Tune and just got it..

The new HP Tuners Beta 2.23 has a secondary VE Table and when you turn the MAF off it reverts to that second table..had me stumped and frustrated for a min till I found it and now it's dialing in nicely. The key with that is make both VE Tables the same value..then when you have your corrections apply them to the main table and copy them to the second table.

Nice.

I've been at work 12 hours today, so I'm a little brain dead. I have something I want to try and / or compare, where is that table located?

Cool thing about the HPT beta - more stuff to tinker with.
Bad thing about the HPT beta - more stuff to learn.

It's near the primary VE Table box..right next to it.

I'm using a 1999 F-body PCM on the S10, the MCSS has a 2002 PCM, doesnt have this second table..so IDK..lol..
