So I'm going to start off by saying I've been having an issue with my car for months and my mechanic can't seem to fix it and the tuner is telling me it's a boost leak etc. My brother had a tuner he went through for his Impala SS and he was going to try and help me with the tune aspect of my car but I am running files through EFI Live and the AutoCal V3 my question comes to stand, is there any possible way I could convert my EFI Live files so he can read, open, and or tinker with the files?
I struggled for almost a year with several extremely small vacuum and boost leaks. I would fix a leak, record a log, send it to my tuner (not BNR btw), and he would say: "The issue is still there."
After fixing 4-5 leaks that I identified over a couple month I kept getting the response of: "The issue is still there, but now it's intermittent in your log.
I almost went to a different tuner because I was convinced that mine was just making excuses and it had to be a tune issue. But I didn't. And I'm glad I didn't because my tuner was right all along!
There were more issues but, I didn't find them until I tore the engine down during my rebuild. Some of them where issues that I could of had before I was tuned.
The moral of the story is, most of the time, the data doesn't lie. Most of the time the data won't tell you where the problem is, but it will tell you that there is a problem.
