I know what some of the abbreviations stand for but not all of them. And what numbers am I looking for at idle and 65mph. Thanks, I knew you guys could help. Tarey D.:cool:
 
At idle,
Rpm of about 850 but varies some by chip.
IAC 0-10 is what I like others accept as high as 20ish.
Coolant temp., what ever the engine is.
ATS should be a bit higher then air temp, and on a real hot day maybe 20dF hotter.
TPS .42ish
BLs 128 is nice but as low as 90 and as high as 140 will work.
LV8 30-40
Flow about 7

At 65
about 1,900 rpm
TPS from .9 to 1.1
IAC 50-60ish again varies
BL 128 ish again, varies
Flow 15ish
LV8 80-90


the thing to do is get to know what is normal for your car so when something seriously changes you can see what's wrong.
ie if all of a sudden your LV8 and Flow numbers are way out of wack you know to look at the MAF, etc..
 
KR- knock retard or degrees of detonation
TPS- throttle position sensor
IAC- idle air control
BAT- battery voltage
RPM- self explanatory- need I say more?
BL- block learn
LV8- load variable
ATS- air temp sensor
GPS- grams per second for MAF
CTS- coolant temp not that new Cadilac model
CC- cross counts related to O2 sensor functions
NAL- malfunction codes- why not MAL?

few more... maybe somebody will jump in.
