Datamaster/Freescan help
Hi,
I'm a "noob" at programming but very interested and willing to learn. I just did my first scan today using Datamaster and Freescan on my 1994Z28. Car has headers and the usual bolt ons, stock internals and some programming by madz28.com.
1) Where can I find OEM values/readings for my 94Z so I can compare them to my actual readings??
2) Can any of you "gurus" take a look at my files. Please!!! I can't host them but I'll send them to anyone via email.
Please contact me at:
cybermunster@hotmail.com
I will greatly appreciate your help and suggestions!!
Thanks again!!

There are hardly any OEM "settings" that you are going to see in your Datamaster/Freescan data logs. What you are getting is the information that is coming from your sensors that the PCM is reading and using to control your engine (and transmission in the case of an auto car after 94). Example, the BLMs help let you know whether the car is running rich or if it is running lean. I'd be willing to take a look at your files and tell you what I think, and I'm sure a few others on here would also. Send them to my email if you want.

Luis,
I looked at your files and noticed you're getting a large amount of knock counts and you're also getting some knock retard, but you were letting off the gas before I was able to see if this KR occurs only at certain RPMs or it starts at a specific RPM and goes all the way to where you would normally shift in a race situation.
Either way... were you running premium gas when you did this log? Can you ever hear any audible pinging or knock? Do you have any exhaust leaks, rattles, etc?

Ion,
I believe I might have a small leak on the MAC primary, need to check the damn clamp again!! I am using street 93 octane gas. I don't hear any pinging or rattles.
I can re-scan it again and send the file to you, please let me know how to scan it so it may be most helpful to you (rpms/time/ac on or off, ect).
As soon as I get a battery for my laptop I'll do some "driving scanning"
Thanks a lot for your response!!
