Something that probably should be also noted is that there is an EFI University for those that want hands on training. Times and Classes are also up on efi's site.
http://www.efilive.com/forum/viewfor...683b5f0f528395
BTW: I am ( was ) also someone that had ZERO knowledge about tuning. After using LS1edit and getting my cam'ed car running ok, then using EFI its running great. Also posting your comments and suggestions up to EFI they do respond quickly whether they can do something or not.

Since there appears to be nothing but electronic tech support (WTF???), would any of you mind sending me your phone # so I can contact you with basic questions? If you don't mind lending a hand, please send me a PM with your contact info.
Thank you SO much!!!

I installed the LC-1 PID file you sent me (THANKS AGAIN!!!). The LC-1 PID now shows up at the end of the available wideband PID's on the list with the factor EFILive installed PID's. One problem though, it has a cross though it (like all the other unsupported PID's) and when I try to select the PID it gives me a warning message that this in not a valid PID.
What do I need to do to make this PID accessible? Any ideas? I guess I really should take this over to EFI's site, but I see many of the same names are here!

BTW, no cats here... only the spotted type and they stay in the house.

WET - I got my LC-1 running this weekend and there is a slight difference in the PID Calculation, verified by the guys at EFILive.
From Ace's post, this is the correct formula:
({EXT.AD1}*3)+7.35
({EXT.AD2}*3)+7.35
You will need to update the PID file I sent you.
Also, you need to select the following PID's to get the AFR from the WB into live:
External Analog Voltage n (required)
Wideband AFR n - LC-1 (required)
Commanded Air Fuel Ratio (optional)
Base Efficiency Numerator n - LC-1 (optional)
Where n = 1 or 2 depending on which input you wired into the flashscan box
If you can stand it, wait till Thursday or Friday this week. I'll be posting a pretty thorough step-by-step autotuning procedure on the EFILive forum.

What I did find which was similar was under Pid_info under the PID folder (using Win Explorer):
Ext.AD1=None
Calc.AFR_LC11=None
Calc.AFR_LC12=None
Calc.BEN_LC11=None
Calc.BEN_LC12=None
I tried changing these to "=1" and saved the new values. When I opened the Scan tool, the PID for the WB LC-1 was still crossed out (not valid). After closing the scan tool and going back under Pid_info is see the values are now changed back to "=None". BTW, I didn't have anything connected while doing this...
I'm obviously trying to make changes in the wrong place. Could you guys be specific where and how I need to make these changes please?
