ya it was pretty bad, I am thinking it was reading so bad, it was hitting all different places on the Xfer and causing the car great confusion.

I really dont know, maybe part of this is due to the low quality of the stock ford meter?

I dont know

i see you are using livelink software. i've been trying to use that myself, but can't get it to connect.

this is probably a stupid question but do you have to have the SCT and laptop in your car? or can you just plug the SCT to your comp and set it up for later?

I dont know

actually, the stock ford meter is very good.

You just got a bum one.

good thing they are cheap.

glad you got it figured out.

livelink is a great tool

no you have to have the laptop running livelink in the car with you conected to the sct handheld which is plugged into your car.

But you can pretty much setup what you want to log and then lay the laptop on the passenger seat and just drive around for a few mins.

Ya I guess youre right, I mean the put them in cars that seem reliable in their stock trim.

But yes live link rocks, I was chasing my tail for so long with this issue until I got the logs and saw how noisy they MAF was. I was like holy shit heh

Simple swap, I got a brand new on for 55 shipped and boom problem solved
