after all the crap i had with my ecu from the good old USA ,i have fitted a innovate MTX-L AFR gauge to check the fuel settings,as i think i am using too much fuel , have got it fitted and working,have loaded the logworks on to my pc so i can datalog. can any one help me by telling me how i do this ,in easy to under stand words like do i plug in the lead from the gauges serial out port then plug the other end to the laptop ,start laptop ,press rec and drive car ?? thanks for any help you guys can give .bry  |

can't answer that as such, but as far as I know the mtx is wired to your ecu in a similar way a normal o2 sensor is wired in, then your laptop connects via ecu, what ecu and what software for pc is it mate?

hi the mtx is wired to a wideband 02 sensor in ex, and the software is logworks,the ecu is a painless kit (inj harness and mefi ecu)bry

yes mate the o2 sensor connects to gauge but the gauge also needs to be connected to ecu as well, John Sleath is man to phone, he installed an emerald ecu on mine after trouble with a microsquirt, he has it set up so at normal driving revs it uses the mtx and learning map to adjust air/fuel ratio but when you put your foot down it stays on a set map, with regards to reading data, my ecu logs the data and John just plugs his laptop in after I get back to him and it gives him all the data he needs since he last connected to it, we did once go for a drive with his laptop connected but that was to alter the map.

mtx or most wide band o2 sensors are a good bit of kit for any ecu but all that 'ecu shit' nearly gave me a heart attack lol
