First off thanks ahead of time for any help.IM new to tuning and this site too .My Name is Steve From Ohio
Im new to tuning and im having a rough time getting it dialed in .

The truck is a 1993 Chevy 1500 350 TBI 4l60e
ItS BDJY $e6

It has ultimate TBi and 18 psi fpr spring with stock fp .Open element air cleaner
Shorty headers
No CAT
Single plane pc vortec intake with tbi adapter plate .
Vortec 062 heads with zz4 springs and retainers
Flomaster 2-1/2 single muffler with turndown at axle .
The pe was inactive on dash so I tried the thread in here but I set it back to 60% tps

Its very rich all over the place , I tried raising the inj flo to 72 at 18psi it should attain with the new fp I have to install and it idled a bit better .

Dave W what would be proper adjustment to correct that ?My Knock retard is horrible too not sure where to try to combat it ?

I did get a slightly better log below .

I use an Excel spreadsheet similar to the one attached.

Steps to using the Excel spreadsheet:
Export data log as a .csv file.
Open .csv file, then copy contents of .csv file.
Open spreadsheet, then paste the contents of the .csv file into the "Insert Datalog" sheet.

At the bottom of the spreadsheet are several other sheets, click on each of the sheets to see the data to make corrections.

The spreadsheet is an AWESOME TOOL!:thumbsup: Processing the data log used to take an hour or more! With the spreadsheet the data log is processed in a few minutes. Learning EXCEL might be challenging for you? Maybe you do not have Excel on you PC? I can post an Open Office version of the Excel spreadsheet if you need?

So you must already have Excel on your PC?

If you have Excel on your PC, you do not need the Open Office .ods file.

You will need to export the data log from TunerPro RT into a .csv file, then copy paste the contents of the .csv file into the "Insert Datalog" sheet of the Excel file. Do you know how to export the data log file from TunerPro RT?

When I tried to save as and use your ve spreadsheet is says unvalid file type in excel .
When I opened my csv file to copy /paste its in an excel file already .where do I go from there meaning where is the insert datalog sheet at in excel?, or in tunerpro ?

For the time being, let's not Use or Talk about Open Office. Downloading Open Office might be a virus source? There are several links to download Open Office, which might have fine print in the downloading instruction to prevent unwanted toolbars from being installed. Maybe a good plan going forward is to uninstall Open Office?

Excel Is Not easy to use! Several years ago I paid for a few Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Access, Power Point) classes at a local Community College, money well spent! :thumbsup:

Attached are some tutorial screen shots.

What I do is open both the .csv file and open the Excel spreadsheet. I copy all the data log information from the .csv file, then paste the data log information into the Excel spreadsheet. At the bottom of the Excel spreadsheet are several tabs. One of the tabs is Insert Data log, which is where I paste the data log information from the .csv file. After pasting the .csv information, the Excel spreadsheet will "process" the data log and populate the other bottom tabs with information.

I'm wondering what version Excel are you using?

I'm using Excel 2007, which uses file extension .xlsx. Older versions of Excel have file extension .xls. The Excel spreadsheet I've shared is file extension .xlsx and won't work with older versions of Excel. The gearhead-efi.com file attachment system does not recognize .xlsx as a valid file. Using .zip to compress files reduces file size and allows a way to attach files not recognized by gearhead-efi.com.

To the best of my knowledge, the files I attached are valid.

I have an extremely busy schedule! I have a full time job, and a small business (Old School EFi) that limits my free time.

I think it might be a good plan to delete the previous Excel and Open Office files you have downloaded from gearhead-efi.com.

I'll reply to your PM, suggesting you share an email address I can directly email the Excel files to.
