    i think normal ign is 16 at idle

    for your mpg.. program a code to show your current trip mpg, it will get rid of that annoying 9999mpg that pops up when you let off or the 4mpg that shows up when you get on the gas

    pm me if you have any questions about making your own gauges, ive made a few of my own
    Thanks, that is reasuring that I'm only having a momentary problem once in a while (actually once or twice a day).

    Yeah, my IGN is around 16 when idling, goes up to 37 at times when accelerating. I haven't watched it long enough to really figure out a patern. I'm watching a few parameters to see if I can see a change when I throw a code.
    I need to build a few gauges, so maybe this weekend. Now I know who to go to if I have a problem figuring it out.
    If you don't first THINK THINK, you could end up in deep DO DO!

    So, I've built a few gauges and most seem to do something.
    HorsePower works - Not all that practical for me, but fun to see it work!

    Fuel Trim has Short Term and Long Term, but question is: How many banks does the VX have (I thought it was only 2), but I found on the Xgauge list that there could be 4, and when I programmed them all I get some readings from bank 3 and 4 also (however they are kinda weird readings, so maybe not really fuel trim). Anybody figure these out???
    (I'm definitly seeing a trim adjust while idling and going back to zero when driving)

    Trans Temperature - Didn't work, but I seem to recall someone said we don't have that. Am I remembering right or programming wrong?

    Has anybody else noticed their LP going from CLOSED to OPEN when Decerating (taking foot off the gas)?

    i couldnt get torque or transmission temp to work either

    havent looked at fuel trim.. i assumed it wouldnt work because fuel pressure didnt work.. ill have to try that one

    I'm still playing with this as I find time. I've come to the conclusion I have a vacuum leak that I will be running down (Hope it's not the Intake???)

    Anyone else setup the ox sensors or injector trim as an Xgauge? I'm interested how steady these numbers are for you, Oh, and is the LP going OPEN when you drop your foot off the throttle?

    Hey Etl, did you have Hp numbers before you put the PV2 on your rig? (I think I read that you did that recently). I wonder if anyone could see a difference on the Scangauge HP based on changes they made?
