    Data not logging in VCM editor

    First my ECT and IAT would not register on my 97 Grand Prix GTP. I later used a different config and they finally showed. I compared the settings and both were config preferences were identical. Anything else I should be changing to allow these to read?

    More importantly, my MAF hz were displaying fine one day, three days later they no longer register. I've switched config files but nothing. My fist log still shows MAF hz, but no new scans show it. Nothing was changed. Could I have accidentally changed a setting?

    Thank you,

    Steve

    you need to log what you want to view in the table display as outlined in the helpfile www.hptuners.com/help
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    Thank you for your response. However, my data was already being logged, and now suddenly it is no longer reading. I have verified with my other scan gauge that the MAF hz is working properly, but not reading on VCM. My question thusly, why was it previously reading and suddenly not? I've re-setup the chart settings as before when I first set them to read MAF Hz, but nothing this time. I'll state again, these DID WORK at one time.
    I will however go back and check the help file once again for anything I might have missed.
    Incidentally, my tuner no longer reads squat!
    I am wondering if I just have a bad interface?
    I've attached scan file and config file for your reference, as you can see, fist file shows MAF hz while 3 days later it's missing. Again, my scan guage still reads it so it's not car equipment or car electrical problems.

    Thank you

    Your 97 only supports 24 bytes of data, by you attempting to log 40+ bytes of data the scanner has no choice but to drop some of that data to get it within in the 24 bytes maximum.

    Your answer is to Log 24 bytes or less.

    Have a good night.
