you're missing more than you realize ....

 

I use VMware player as a way to run a Windows XP VM, it works rather good this way, I am using a USB/OBD2 dongle, and connecting it to the VM..


I never knew this to be a problem, but there is a way to turn the 100 limit off or on in the flash, I have probably flashed mine 15 to 20 times tops


Starting it on an internet enabled computer (or VM) will allow the program to update itself.


The crazy thing is that is the only software I feel safe tuning my car with, I wish it did more...

 

Cheers for those tit bits, Just bought a 2nd hand laptop thats still on XP, Done my first pro Tune Flash in 2 and a bit years-- With this other laptop on XP -- Had No problems at all

 

I may dual boot my net book that I have dedicated for my car. I have a base tune in pro tuner and after loading that want to fine tune with my AP.

 

Pretty sure that doesn't work Hoss . Any new tune going in from the AP will be just that - a totally new tune .

 

So I cant load a base tune with my pro-tuner then save or copy that base tune into the AP from the ECM or otherwise and mod it from there?

 

nope - the AP may store that base map but it is not the map that ATR will reference when you try tuning with that .

The Hymee base tune is nothing to write home about anyway so i wouldn't be too perturbed ......

 

As a note -- there was a tread in a forum (hymee place) Called "a thread to share discovered maps." which No one seems to use -- the Tread or the Forum.
As most of the 623 members signed/logged on for the first and ONLY time -- some as far back as 08', and Most Never Logged on again.

So, as there are a few of us out here still using the pro Tuner, it maybe of some help if these owners of Pro Tuner went back to "Hymee place" and posted there, instead of dragging it thro the Mud on this Forum, just a Ideal

 

/\ not a bad idea although this forum is where it's at as far as tuning goes .

 

I know.
But I'm just thinking it'll keep it sweeter ?? keep the bad blood out of it.

More direct?? , keeping some of side shows away from the Tuning, or find out what maps do, or are called.

MY 2 C worth.

 

I want to resurrect this idea that was started in the Hymee forum of sharing "maps". The ProTuner, from what I understood from conversations with Hymee, has a base ROM (.ptc file) that is specific to an ECU type (Not VIN). The ROM is just a bunch of tables and values. What those tables and values are is stored in a CalSpec (.pcs) file, ie at location X is a table that is 16 x 8 cels, etc etc. Each ECU will have a different CalSpec, so someone with an N3J6 ECU may have a table number 38 that is 16 x 8 but that doesn't mean someone with an N3YM will have the same Table at the same location. Prime example in the attached, have a look at the location of the APV Opening parameter. Table 34 on one and 38 on another.

All ProTuner is doing is giving you the ability to modify these table values (you cant change the table dimensions) and write them to the ECU. Each different ECU type has differing numbers of tables and table configurations so are not compatible. What was intended

So what was proposed, the sharing of Maps, is about identifying what ECU you have, what table you have found to do what "job" and the configuration of that table.

Are people interested in sharing new tables they have found? I actually thought someone mentioned you can get access to a document from Mazda that details what each tables is.

 

I don't have ProTuner, but I have been working on disassembling a rom off and on. Right now I'm working through all the DTC subroutines and trying to identify the variables, so I don't have much exciting yet...



For example, that table is one of two tables which are used for the P0138 DTC.

I'll post if I do find anything good.

 

---"document from Mazda that details what each tables is"---

Please, Please Post this so called document, someone , Please

 

here are a few I don't know if they are right. I haven't bothered modifing them.

N3ZK
2d maps
map 10 6 x 0 [Byte] leading base idle timing?
map 11 9 x 0 [Byte] leading timing coolant comp?
map 12 6 x 0 [Byte] trailing base idle timing?
map 13 9 x 0 [Byte] trailing coolant comp?


map 33 12 x 0 [Integer] cold fast idle? (usless map lol)
maps 34 - 37 7x0 idle maps?

map 263 5 x 0 [Byte] base knock retard?

3D maps
map 6 8 x 7 [Byte] leading timing idle correction A
map 8 8 x 7 [Byte] trailing idle correction A

 

3d map 99 on my car

what do I do with it? and where is its partner?

 

Thanks

 

Here are a few I've found :

3D
31 12x16 Closed loop A
32 12x16 Closed loop B

2D
120 19x0 Closed loop Exit Throttle
277 8x0 Calc. Load IAT compensation
278 8x0 Calc. load Baro. compensation


Although all these extra maps are interesting and i have done some experimenting with them . I have yet to alter any of them to the point where i thought that knowing where they are was important to the tune.
With perhaps the exception of the closed loop exit throttle map and the idle maps .

 

I think 3d map 25 may be closed loop throttle comp. rpm, throttle duty, Air/fuel

for maps 277 and 278 could you post the values? all of my maps seem to be at the same location as yours, but these seem a long way from the IAT calibration compared to most of the related maps.

 

Baro map should be right next to this one :

 

thanks

 

It would be fun if Hymee could complete the work with PT some day.

Im still possitive even if Mark hasen't respond in ages to my e-mails...

 

+1

Yip, I Agree

 

This table plays a role in injector staging, but I don't understand it completely yet.

 

This is seems to be a load table for SSV and APV control, but not VDI which seems to be strictly RPM-based. The same subroutine also looks for a throttle position > 60, but I doubt you guys have the ability to edit that value.
