I'm Awesome
I need some help that I cant find any threads on. Maybe someone here has been through this already.
1997 Yukon 4x4, 5.7 L31, 4L60e
I have the common CMP Retard fault that requires re-clocking the distributor to get the cam sensor within spec. I live in a remote community and neither of the three mechanics in town wants to look at it. I purchased Torque Pro and a bluetooth OBDII connection unit (Panlong, on an android phone).
I used a couple of threads here and on other forums and created the additional PID per instructions. I tried for about 3 hours to get that to work and was unable to generate a signal.
I then purchased Dashcommand, and purchased the 1997 GM PID package. I saw several posters with screenshots that included the CMP Retard PID, but mine is nowhere to be found. Another 4-5 hours spent messing around.
This morning I purchased CarDiagnosticPro based on a youtube video I found. While it has the PID listed, I cannot get it to generate ANY live data while connected. All I can get is MIL codes. I canot get any live data out of this app, unlike the other 2. Another 5 hours into mucking about.
All of the interfaces on these apps are absolutely awful, and Im pulling my hair out trying to generate a usable degree number. Has anyone used any of these three apps, and can you walk mew through what I'm missing or what I'm doing wrong? I though I was fairly computer/app literate until now.
