Is that antiseize on the threads? If so, what did you use?

Also, misfire tables are under engine diag

If they've been set up like seen here - 32767 it basically nullifies them - my 98 LS is known for bad readings so someone along the line nullified them.

The anti seize on the O2 is stuff that comes with the O2's

My engine diagnostic menu looks like this.

This is interesting because it's the only plot without retarded timing, yet you imply power didn't improve. A good portion of the STFT could be that it's fueling for -38F instead of 115F or whatever, but I can't find where that table is - only ECT adjustment. If does say the timing would advance about 8 degrees from that temperature error. What is changing about 1/4 of the way in, where it shifts from LTFTs around -12 to up near zero?

I believe the only reason why it wasn't negative (timing) is because I was on a flatter surface with less load and only 21% throttle. It did not feel any different and the KR feedback kicking in made me concerned too. It was around 100 degrees out, hood is off so the intake piping is baking in the sun increasing the IAT's.

I will say, when the engine first comes to temp on the first run in the morning it feels best however it still falls on it's face with throttle.

I should also mention the MAP unplugged through a code, the MAF did not which I thought was odd.

At this point I want to dive deeper into the fuel pressure concerns.
 
Is there an option to disable the PRNDL?
It looks to me that it's enabled. But clicking on the options should show this.
I have no clue if this could come into play with any of the problem.

not sure if it matters

I pinched the return so it was at 65sh psi.
Disconnected the power to reset the PCM

I would say it improved some however it still falls on it's face under load and throttle.

I don't know either, but I would try setting it to none, just in case.
Because you don't have that input from a shifter mounted switch, correct?

nothing is wired to the transmission, no inputs of any kind including gear selectors.
 
So I’m curious

Are these kpa numbers actually negative?

need to know if this is happening before or after the timing dump (I understand you don’t know that Skunk, thinking out loud)

If the need for VSS has truly been programmed out, changing this would have no affect

If changing this setting does, than that parameter was never removed?

I don't see the negative kPa, the negative 7 is the timing. See the 2nd to last pic above @ 2173 rpm.

Yep I’m reading that wrong

It does however show us right where the timing is going away


Wanna mess with some settings?
 
Is Ecm 2 still better than ecm 1? Or had it become the same after messing with it?
 
No technical input here as I know nothing about EFI tuning but watching / reading the collective diagnosing and idea exchange is really fun. I’m waiting on the aha moment where an incorrect setting is found and this turns into a burnout post.

I can't figure out what you're looking at. The negative numbers are timing degrees. Do you know how to read the graphs?

Yep and if you read all the posts, you’d have seen that above
 
So does that data logging show the actual numbers or just what is being commanded?
