Need help guys!!

[russell86c]

Hey guys I need some help. Iv got a ba xr6 turbo and I'm using the "Torque Pro" app and I'm not getting any throttle information on the real-time gauge, yet when I plug it into my other car it all works. Any help will be appreciated. Iv recently pulled off and cleaned the throttle body befor getting the app so I don't know if the problem was there before I cleaned it. The car is driving perfect currently aswell. Cheers guys

It sounds like the throttle body is fine as you are able to drive arround.

It sounds to me that you might not have loaded the ford custom PID in the Torque app.

you could be using the wrong PID to monitor the throttle.

Do you know by any chance what the pid is called? Or where to find it?

[masda74]

In Torque, open the gear cog at the bottom left. (do not use the green get plugin gear cog).

Once you click the grey gear cog at the bottom left, you have 3 choices. Click on settings.

Scroll down till you get the "Manage extra PIDs/Sensors"/ Click on that.

Now at the top right there are the 3 dots which is the pull down menu. Click it.

Chose the option to "Add predefined set"

Then in the list, chose "Ford(incl PowerStroke)"

Once they have been added, you will notice that they have green icons.

This is important. once you add a meter to your display and you choose which PID you want to monitor, look for any PID that has a green background.

Those are the ford ones.

 

The one that I am using is the "Thorttle Position(Manifold)"

Ok

So it's asking me do I want to replace current PIDS. do I then click yes?

[masda74]

Yep replace the current PIDs. That is what I did. From what I can recall, this process updates the formulas

 

See the above image, there is a FORD EOT. That is a custom PID that I setup with the help of the other members on this forum.

This is my current formula:

(((A*256)+B)*5)/74-16

 

Have a read of this thread for a whole bunch of information.
