GMPP LS7 tune problems I am working with a local tuner trying to tune a GTM. It has a LS7 with a decent size cam installed. The computer is manufactured by GMPP. Using HP tuners we can not seem to make any changes to the computer. We have been in contact with HP tuners, they are trying to help, but they really dont know what is going on either. We can extract, write and scan, but no matter what changes we make it doesn't change the way the car runs. We have changed the idle everywhere from 100 to 2000 rpms, changed the settings so that it only runs on open loop, and no change.
The car seems to have a low idle, and when you get on the throttle and back off it wants to die. It also runs pig rich throughout the rpm band.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for any help

You say that you can "We can extract, write and scan" but did you flash the changes back in to computer?
Normally you would read entire, then edit, then save the new file and then write calibration files to the ECU.
HP doesn't edit in real time so you need to write the changes to the ECU.
The crate engine ECU's seem to be on "safe" side.

We have tried write entire and write calibration both. Neither one make any changes to the way the car runs. It is a electronic controlled throttle, so no IAC. It also seems to run really really rich.
Today we copied alot of tables from a stock CTS-V, but no change to the way the car runs. We also tried lowering the Rev limit to 2500, but it would still rev up past 4000 sitting in neutral. The customer support at HP tuners doens't seem to know why we arn't getting any changes in the running of the car either.

why is it so funny? Isn't this forum for people to solve problems and ask questions?
how would we know if that happend?
I forgot to add. If we make changes and flash them to the computer, restart HP Tuners and do a read entire the changes are there. Why would it say the changes are made, but not change the way the car is running?

Make sure you WBO2 is working/configured properly.
I had a sensor burn out on me and it read lean at WOT,
after adding fuel to the VE table the WBO2 still showed lean.
I thought something was wrong with the tune but it was the WBO2 the whole time.
It would unlock when reflashing, he could not "lock himself out" with the same cable.

LOL. maybe you locked it by accident when you full flashed.

I did find out one thing today though. If I disconnect the MAF sensor it will have a constant 1 foot blue flame coming out the exhaust. Well its coming out of one set of exhaust pipes. It has 3 different sets of exhaust on the same car. (customers design)
Since you copied tables from another unrelated file, you might be eight steps in the wrong direction and two in the right.
Correct, I thought he said it wasnt able to re flash or wasnt able to flash an edited cal.
