For those who have done this swap, what settings do you use on the reader? Which vehicle and year?
-
If it was programmed to manage the F series 3.4, wouldn't that be the vehicle to use? If Ryan programmed it, he might be able to answer that question.
-
Oh. He said to use an OBD1 reader, and a 90 Gran Prix with a 3.1
He also gave me a bunch of other info. I wanted to compare.
-
Need to know what code mask and what pc reader program you’ll be using. You could also use android too. What kind of interface do you want to try? Red river makes turn-key interfaces, or you can bull-hockey your own simply by breaking out a ttl comm board.
-
I am running the $88 code mask. I have Tuner Pro, but liked WinALDL better. I have both of Red River's interfaces (USB & bluetooth).
-
winaldl wont work with the 7730.
in Tunerpro using $88:
to setup tunerpro to speak $88, go to "acquisition" and choose "load definition" that you downloaded previousely from somwhere. it will be an adx file. I attached my favorite $88 adx here.
then setup how it comminicates to your interface of choice by going to "tools" and choosing "preferences" and click on the "data aq/emm" tab. then choose the choices that get your interface going.
next, plug in your interface to car and computer, then open tuner pro, or already have it up before plugging into the aldl.
turn key on, then wait for tx/rx lights to show packet movement, then click 'left-right' arrows at toolbar.
success will yield a blue status bar at bottom of page frame, green if recording logs, red if problem, yellow if nothing. other status info will be found at the bottom as well.
Hope this helps!

Did you only have to load the 1 file? There were 3 (I think) files I had to load. Different file types, though.
-
the different files are for different things. adx for gathering info, bins are the ecm os, and xdf is the translator for reading the bin.
the way i read your post, you wanted to hook up to and monitor or log the parameter variables. the adx is all you need for that.

Thanks. I'll try tomorrow...depending on the weather. I'm looking for whatever is setting my check engine light occasionally. Probably still a vacuum leak by the EGR.
