Hi George

I'll have to take the readings tomorrow because I forgot to save the gauges and they disappeared lol.
I figured out how to save them now but I do have one question. When I hit save its asking me for a VIN number and I just typed Run Mode 9 to obtain the VIN automatically...then it asked me for to type comment and I left it blank. Is any of these two things important or necessary ?

I believe that you can leave them both blank. Digital gauges are better.

Ya I realized after I did it that they were analog gauges so I made them digital ones. Thanks again for your help 😉

Here the values that I have

first picture is a cold motor not started and the second is @ operating temp CL. Also a couple of days ago I erased all of the codes that came up and today I thought I'd take a look. I had P0101 and P0300. P0101 is mass airflow sensor and P0300 is misfiring. Both don't surprise me lol. I have a Mass air flow sensor that I purchased from China but I took it off and put the stock one back in because it didn't make a difference. I'll try it again and see. Maybe these Chinese one are garbage and I need another one ? What do you think ?

The purpose of the first readings (cold no start) are to see if the sensors are reporting ambient conditions for temperature and pressure. Do IAT, MAP and ECT make sense for that day?

You supplied 2500 but we also need idle and warm.

You have MAP twice so your missing MAF which we definitely need.

Your fuel trims at 2500 are good but we need idle to compare. The sweep on those O2 sensor graphs is too fast, do you know if there is a setting to slow those down, I dont use this software very much?

CMP retard is close enough.

When you get a sensor code it can be the sensor, power, ground , connector or the wiring. The fact that a prts swap did not change anything probably means its not the sensor so further testing is required.

Ok I'll get the outside temperature and get the readings again and get the readings at idle as well. I totally forgot to get the outside temperature lol.

I added the MAF gauge thanks for noticing that.

This software is all new to me but I'll see if I can figure out how to slow down the graph. All my 02 sensors were changed not long ago with new AC Delco ones and it didn't make any difference at all.

Let me get the information again and we can go from there and if you have any suggestions of what to test next as far as wiring that would be great. I really appreciate you helping me with this problem I'm having.

Ambient temperature today 23c

first snapshot is a cold engine
second is@idle
third and forth @2500 rpm

I will look at these tonight. Was was your atmospheric pressure? You can look at history on weather underground if you didnt record it.

I looked in the software if there was anything that said history and I didn't see anything.I don't understand what you mean ? Where do I find this information ?

Thanks
Jason

What’s your zip code and the date and time of your cold engine measurements?
