mmcd logger confusion

[kahlilj]

hi folks,
i'm new to this forum. it looks pretty straight so far. anyway, i need some help - badly.

i have a 90 NT eclipse 2.0 & it won't start. i recently purchased a datalogger (palm IIIx with mmcd software installed) connected it & attempted to start the car. i logged a couple of files, but they are of little use to me without the car running.

in "test" mode it displayed "none" for error codes.
that's confusing!! why is this displaying "no errors"? my car won't start & YES it has gas! lol! & i am fairly sure something should show even if it has nothing to do with car not starting. it has been sitting for several months and lord only knows the last time it had a decent tuneup or anything. am i missing something here??

also, something else i noticed on my log (& found a site that i think gives the meaning of): the FLG2 status showed a "FB". from what i read at that website the "F" means fuel pump relay right? & does that mean its faulty or what? i think the "B" is for boost related? but this is a not turbo.

FLGO status was "S". meaning power steering pressure? again does that flag status mean i have problems with these parts/areas??
can someone please give me some help on setting up/interpreting this logger correctly for error code/troubleshooting??

i have gone to the sourceforge.net site, have the latest version installed (1.8) and have even downloaded sample files. i thought i could view them on my computer, but after unzipping them, it looks like they want to install on my logger instead. (i need help viewing these on my computer directly too instead of going thru process of uploading to palm, then downloading & converting to excel file on computer).

i must be missing something really simple, but i do not know where to start except here - where i KNOW there are other users out there.

i need 3 things:
1) how to setup/read/pull the error (fault) codes correctly.
2) guidance on reading those realtime, i.e. while logger is connected to ECU in car. (instead of codes being created in data file & viewing that data file on pc after conversion)
3) how to view the sample files on computer without going thru upload/download process with logger. as well as help with file management on the datalogger in general.

please help.
