| - | ====== ECMLink 101 - Sanity checks ====== | ||
| - | On this page, we're going to assume you've already run through the install procedure and have gotten a good connection established with the ECU. If you have not, please review the [[ecmlink101install|Installation]] page first. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Verify ===== | ||
| - | Pull up the ECU Config tab and verify some basic settings. You should see something like this. | ||

| - | |||
| - | ==== Base MAF type ==== | ||
| - | In the MAF Comp tab, check your Base MAF type. This should say something like "Stock", "3G/EVO8", "GM 3in", etc. You want to make sure this matches what you actually have installed on the car. If you have a GM MAF translator, then you'll want to select "Stock" because the translator is supposed to provide a signal to the ECU that more or less simulates a stock Mitsubishi airflow sensor. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Global fuel ==== | ||
| - | Go to the Fuel tab and check the global fuel adjustment slider. This one is a bit more complicated to explain simply because there are a lot of things you can do to your car's setup that will affect this value. These thing include: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Changing injector size (of course) | ||
| - | * Changing base fuel pressure | ||
| - | * Changing fuel type (gasoline, E85, etc.) | ||
| - | |||
| - | To help with this, there is a "calculate" button on the Fuel tab near the Global fuel adjustment area. Click this Calculate button and enter appropriate values for your specific setup. The following screenshot shows a "typical" FIC 850 configuration on gasoline with a 2G ECU. | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{ http://www.ecmtuning.com/images/forums/ecmlink101/fuelcalc.png }} | ||
| - | |||
| - | 1G ECU will default to a different base fuel value (37psi). Adjust this only if you've installed an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator or you know your car is running some different pressure than the default. | ||
| - | |||
| - | There are a number of pages available to provide more help in this area. | ||
| - | |||
| - | * [[baseinjectordata|Basic injector starting points]] | ||
| - | * [[fuelsettingshelp|Fuel settings help]] | ||
| - | * [[e85fuel|E85/E70/etc. configuration help]] | ||
| - | |||
| - | You're basically on this tab just to convince yourself that the global fuel adjustment value is appropriate for your configuration. This is **VERY** important. Do not gloss over this. The deadtime value isn't nearly as critical until you start trying to fine tune your [[fueltrimupdatepoints|fuel trims]]. | ||
