i've done my fair share of Honor Guard duty... walking caskets out of a C-17 that you know has nothing but a couple pieces of bone in it, and sending it to the lab in spite of family asking for the remains.... standard burial/cremation/flag/rifle party stuff...
If your not the kind of person who gets emotional with TV shows, its not that bad... you just have to have some composure... or at least not give a ****

Only to get in a uniform and bury soldiers killed in Iraq a hell hole I just left. I deal with more pressure on a daily basis than most any of you can fathom. I've been waiting for the past mth due to no fault of my own but the inability for a manfacture to produce a part that works for my car. not going into detail but I'm sick of having parts for my car that are not working to the ability I was informed in the beginning.
Just simply say that you are frusterated and ask for help; one member has already agreed to work with you on the email.
How could the Cobb kill your car anyway? Just flash it back to stock and you can drive to work again; if it is another part - well; you couldn't drive it anyway even with the right flash.

I understand frusteration; but dude I would not start walking down that road.

thats entirely possible... when this first blew up real big, there were people who got missed by accident, MM saw this happening right away and addressed it by organizing.
give him the benefit of the doubt on the past, work things right now and be happy

We really are trying to help you out bro; just work with us - I know Paul and Jeff both; they are cool dudes; Paul even bought me Pizza when we were working on my car.
Most everyone here is genuinely nice; things just sometimes get fucked up.

Heck, send me any data you have too and and I'll do my best to pretty it up. It's the least I can do for one who protects us.

I'll send you a new log as soon as I get the car running. I not looking for any thanks or sympathy for being in the military but thanks for the comments it does mean a lot to know some actually care. Beside you would probably shoot me for doing what I was told to do over there .

I got your PM and forwarded on additional info via email. Feel free to respond directly to the email address my messages orginate from.

Sorry MM, my datalogger isn't here yet, but I'm going to go around and re-do the calibration so I can be at least one step ahead of the game =)
Thanks

I've been using EFIDude due to ease of use and "reasonable" price.
In hindsight, had I fully understood what was needed I would not have gotten a logger and instead would have employed my 16 year old teenager to be a scribe, noting Equiv Ratio values on the AP at various RPMs in various gears at full throttle .... basically like:
2nd Gear
2500 RPM = xxx AFR
3000 RPM = xxx AFR
3500 RPM = xxx AFR
4000 RPM = xxx AFR
...
5500 RPM = xxx AFR
8000 RPM = xxx AFR
3rd Gear
2500 RPM = xxx AFR
3000 RPM = xxx AFR
3500 RPM = xxx AFR
4000 RPM = xxx AFR
...
5500 RPM = xxx AFR
8000 RPM = xxx AFR
Then if I wanted to plot it, I could've just put it in a spreadsheet generated a chart.

ha! that's where my eeepc, openoffice, and multiple runs comes in to play!
I don't think this is something you can do in one run. Even with the logger, I've been making anywhere between 5 and 10 runs before I have data that I'm satisified with.... but I am a bit more **** than most.
Also, flashing a new map and going out and generating numbers is not the way to do it. It takes some time (posted previously in the thread -- about a week's worth of daily driving in various conditions) for the ECU's trims and learned parameters to fully kick in.

OPENOFFICE FTW
guess i'll be doing this this weekend.. hopefully i don't get too many tickets, otherwise it would be cheaper to just go to a dyno to get them!

I just wanted to drop a quick note that I got my accessport and calibrations. The car is currently running about 12.3 afr w/ around 95% cal. load in WOT in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.
The car feels fantastic and I've still got some headroom to grow in! Thanks Jeff!

hey jeff, yes I did. they probably got lost though. I sent you videos of my afr readings in all 6 gears under wot. I didn't know if it would help or not. I know for sure that 6th gear cruising at 4 1/2 grand and above I'm running anywhere between high 9's to low 11's. If the videos would help you I can re-send them. I sent them to ap@mazdamanic.com
