I am having trouble using the default "1" to erase the old SD1 settings in the PL. I go to Param. #16 and then go to BLM and it is set on 99... then Where do I go from here?

 

[TurboBob]

you doing it via the pedal-stomp method?

you can do it from the laptop.

Shouldn't you be selecting parameter 15 instead, since there's no 0 in the LV8 cycling. As I understand it, the parameters cycle from 1-21. Try selecting 15 and then go to BLM so see what you have.

Never mind, my mistake, it is parameter 16. Don't know why you're seeing 99.

Hook a loptop up, it's a 1000 time easier.

I have my laptop hooked up now, but how do I change to the default settings? never tried this before.

 

[TurboTdr3.8]

Setting the number 16 cell to enter # 1 in cell resets to default with laptop

 

[Eric Stage I]

Key on, in monitor mode, double click cell 16 (last cell), and enter "1", press enter. You should see the cell change to "1". Then turn key off for a few seconds. When you re-connect, the cells should be at the defaults and cell 16 should be back to 0.

got it! Thanks
My problem before was the software wasnt downloaded correctly. I downloaded it again and reflashed the PL with PL042 and it changed the BLM to 0. I put it to 1 and turned key off. Car fired up with no problems.
Ya, I thought about that Eric. If I put it on default, would it stay in default mode... Now I know. Thanks

There is quite a connection delay when connecting to the powerlogger. Is it just me or??

Yep mine is about 35 to 40 sec sometime more

Ya,seems about 30 sec delay.

 

[TurboDave]

What delay are you referring to? From what action to what action??

 

[TT/Ameasap]

When you start your car and the PL is connecting.

 

[TurboDave]

I guess I never noticed that because my routine is a bit different. I have my laptop on and running, but PLC NOT started.

I start the car, then start PLC, and it almost immediately connects. Then all I have to do is hit F8 to start monitor mode.

I know this is more of the shakedown of the SD2 chip thread, but I think it would be nice to start another thread with what we have learned collectively. I cringe at 20+ pages to read. No disrespect in anyway, just think the discussion can continue here and have a thread about actual tricks and tips to teach other people. Your doing a great job and I hope I can contribute while learning from you.

 

[TurboDave]

Nothing wrong with that idea.

 

[TurboBuRick]

Finally had a little time to play with it. What a neat new toy! I dialed idle and cranking fuel in. Starts like Cadillac.
Adjustable idle speed would be nice. That was the only thing I'm missing so far.

Nice job gentleman! It's a great new chip...
