0171 0174 both banks lean and yes cleaned maf and all filters are newer

 

It is really quiet easy. I admire the App developer for his ability to make tasks as intuitive as he has. If the PID (Parameter Identification) is already in your PID database, you simply 'long tap' a live data dashboard screen where you want to place the gauge - and you get a popup menu. Then select >ADD or MOVE or CHANGE gauge as appropriate. For 'ADD', it walks you through a scroll window to choose the 'type' gauge desired (digital, round or square, or 1/2 gauge, "+" / "-" gauge etc.) and then a scroll window from which you choose the PID you wish to monitor on THAT new gauge.

IF the PID is not included in the PID database already: select >Settings (the gear), > Manage Extra PIDs / Sensors, then press phones >Menu button (or three dots), and select >Add Custom PID ----- then input the fields required (as I listed above in post #5 (this thread).)

IF you have downloaded one of the 'CSV' files I have posted that already contain a bunch of custom PIDs (or ones you have created and saved) - you can copy the CSV file to your Android device(into the folder ".Torque/extendedPIDs -note: that is dot Torque) and in the step above you simply select >Add Predefined List, and choose the proper list from a scroll window.

This is the "POWER" of Torque Pro - which exists in NO OTHER scanner that I am familiar with. There is not a single sensor or parameter available from OBDII on your vehicle that you cannot display on a gauge ----- the hard part is locating the PID itself, then working out a formula that will display it properly.

I did a full PID scan (from 0000 to FFFF) - took like four hours - and located ~525 PIDs that 'respond'. Put those in a database and started trying to figure out what they are. It's been a real "TRIP".

 

ok Im sort of familiar with the "add" function and looking at say fuel trims or 02 readings etc. I just haven't played around with it as much as you have. I will give it a go, thanks

 

Monitoring data real time is great but Freeze Frame data will tell you how things were when the code was set. Cold engine, hot engine, trims, O2 readings, etc. It's stored in the PCM, you just have to read it.

 

When I was dealing with these lean codes in my truck, I found that I had some loose vacuum lines on my FPS and on a nipple going into the blower. Have you measured your vacuum to see if you have a leak?
I would probably check the freeze frame data and see if anything stands out.
You mentioned intermittently falls on its face, but no other codes. Do you use an oiled air filter or a custom air box?

 

weird thing is that even though the cel went out a while ago the codes were still present. Today, no codes stored or no freeze frame data on my basic actron scanner. Im not sure if my pro torque app shows freeze frame data. I can't find it. However several times today it severely bogged down. Once just pulling out and gunning it and again cruising along and trying to accelerate and around 2000 rpm just went flat but always slowly picks up to speed

 

No, nothing custom and the bogging down is inconsistent but does it everyday. Sometimes pulling out and gunning it and other times while moving and stepping on it but it always slowly picks up to speed and then seems ok. I checked vacuum this way if correct. I put my hand vac pump on brake booster line, small red lines and with my torque app check fuel pressure at rail and its always 40 psi or so

 

VCT's going?

 

Still trying to get my head around this evap system . Plus I need to learn all the abbv in torque pro . Trying to understand the duty cycle of the purge system 150t is relating .

 

replaced them and a host of other things a few yrs back
