Alright, I finally got my pda and mmcd software up and running. I just got done testing it out and now I have just a few questions for anyone who knows more than I do at this. This was my first time using it, so I might need someone to tell me stuff about it. First off, what do I need to look for the most. There's alot of stuff on that mmcd program and the only ones I know are RPM and battery... :lol: .
Can anyone tell me what these mean...
INJP - TPS - ISC - TIMA - O2-F - O2-R - KNOCK (sort of have a clue on what this one is) - ...to make things easier for me. I practically want to know what everything in there means. So if anyone can help me out with this, I'd appreciate it ALOT...thanks! :dsmrule:
Injector pulse- throttle position sensor-idle sensor controller??? -timing- 02 sensor readings- counts of knock (detonation most destructive thing to a dsm)

I get those alot in the morning. Even if I let the car warm up, it still knocks like crazy. I've had alot 43 counts of knock, even when the air/fuel reads rich. So I dont know whats going on. Whats a GBA SP? Would that work with what I have right now? Oh yeah and with that M100...do you always have to reinstall the MMCd software evertime you change the batteries? I had the M100 off and replaced the batteries and I had to start all over again...it sucked..haha.

Ya, i had bid on it on ebay. I was the highest bidder in the end, but didn't meet his reserve. So I emailed him and asked what he was trying to get for it to see if we could work out a deal. Well since I used my work email to write him, he musta figured out the .usmc stood for US MARINE CORPS. He wrote me back saying, "Sir, for being a defender of our country, how does 10 bux sound? I'll even pay for the shipping." Guess I got lucky on that one!

I have the m100 with the MMCd software and I dont know what's so important about it. To me (newb), everything on the software doesnt tell me much. It doesnt even tell me the air/fuel ratio.

What do I need to pay attention to the most with that software?

The o2 reading is basically the same as the A/F ratio. However you're probably running a narrowband o2 sensor, so it's not going to help too much anyway.

Knock is the most important part about this device, as it's the most detrimental to our engines.

These are called pocketloggers for a reason. They log info on the car so we can determine what may be wrong with it. It's not gonna flash any pretty lights or tune anything for you... that's up to you. But if you're getting lots of knock, that means something's not right and you should probably try to figure it out.

Here's a link to all the features and what their uses are:

Yeah, I'm always getting lots of knock counts in the morning. I think it might be from the lifters, but I dont know. My lifters in the morning are REALLY loud, so would the ecu read it as knock? I had the logger on when it was ticking really bad this morning and I didnt get any knock counts? Oh yeah and I'm always running lean for the first couple of mins in the morning or after my car has been sitting for a little while...is that normal?

Ya that it is old. I need a ALDL cord for a PC. I don't think my M100 still works. But both cords be nice to find a price for....
