    05 Mustang tuning help- spark advance & retard Scaning

    Hi,

    While scanning 05 Mustnag, the histogram shows nothing no reading, how to view the spark advance & retard readings.

    How to make the configureation to view the sparks.

    I need your help in this matter.

    You need to customize the histogram

    This should help get you going on the right foot http://www.hptuners.com/help/demos/customhisto.swf
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    I tried to make the configration for the timing in the scanner, my aim is to show the timing values based on rpm and manifold pressure, after i have make all the setting in the histograms it still show NOTHING. (off course i double check that all the parameters needed are looged ).

    I have followed the link above it was helpful, but the histogram does not show any values after you set the configration when you are working with FORDS.

    This a scan from 05 mustang take a look at the histograms.

    Its because the definition doesn't appear to be supported yet. I can only assume you've read the file & sent it to support to be added.

    The spark timing is referenced to load %, not map. Try logging the Calculated Load [SAE] (%) pid.
    Looks like the spark retard pid is not supported.

    I see that the Mass Airflow Voltage pid is not supported. As it will be required for tuning the Maf.

    If the definition file for the editor has not been added it means the definition file for the scanner has not been added either which is why you'd only get generic pid's while scanning. Once we get the definition file added you'll see dozens & in some cases hundreds of extra parameters available to scan.

    Bill,
    How long until we have definitions for the MAF voltage and Knock Pids? I am too trying to tune a late model, but with a supercharger. Without those pids I am stuck trying to listen for detonation, when I should be able to log it.

    You must send us the .hpt file you read off of the pcm & we will add it as quickly as possible, we currently only have 4 or 5 ford definition files in que to be completed, if you haven't sent in the .hpt file it won't get done until someone does for that particular calibration.

    Bill,
    I sent the file today.

    Thanks for the help!
